A 2540 kg test rocket is launched vertically from the launch pad. Its fuel (of negligible mass) provides a thrust force such that its vertical velocity as a function of time is given by v(t) = At + Bt2, where A and B are constants and time is measured from the instant the fuel is ignited. The rocket has an upward acceleration of 1.50 m/s2 at the instant of ignition and, 1.00 s later, an upward velocity of 2.00 m/s. (a) Determine A and B, including their SI units. (b) At 4.00 s after fuel ignition, what is the acceleration of the rocket, and (c) what thrust force does the burning fuel exert on it, assuming no air resistance? Express the thrust in newtons and as a multiple of the rocket’s weight. (d) What was the initial thrust due to the fuel?
On average, froghopper insects have a mass of 12.7 mg and jump to a height of 473 mm. The takeoff velocity is achieved as the little critter extends its legs over a distance of approximately 2.00 mm. Assume that the +?-direction is upward, and assume a vertical jump with constant acceleration. What is the froghopper's acceleration ?jump during the jump (the jump itself, not the time in the air)? ?jump= m/s2 During the jump itself, how much time ? are the froghopper's feet in contact with the ground? ?= s What force ? does the ground exert on the froghopper during the jump itself? Express your answer in millinewtons. ?= mN
