I'm a little stuck on a space physics question?

Can you find the acceleration of this object?

A toy rocket of mass 1.4 Kg whose engine stopped while the rocket was in mid air.

Can you show your working out so i know where you got the answer from
Thanks
 
This might not be right but what i would think is that you would first calculate the force by using :
F = mass x gravitational field strength.
F= 1.4 x 10 = 14N

Then use F=ma ??
F= mass x acceleration
14 = 1.4 x a
a = 10 ms^-2

Soz if this is wrong :( x
