How much fuel would be needed for a 1000-kg rocket (this is its mass with no fuel) to take off from Earth and reach 1000 m/s in 30 s? The exhaust speed is 1000 m/s.
A spaceship's orbital maneuver requires a speed increase of 1.40 ✕ 103 m/s. If its engine has an exhaust speed of 2.20 ✕ 103 m/s, determine the required ratio Mi Mf of its initial mass to its final mass. (The differenceMi − Mfequals the mass of the ejected fuel.)
A spaceship’s orbital maneuver requires a speed increase of1.20 x 103 m/s. If its engine has an exhaust speed of 2.50 x103 m/s, determine the required ratio Mi/Mf of its initial massto its final mass. (The difference Mi - Mf equals the mass ofthe ejected fuel.)
A spaceship's orbital maneuver requires a speed increase of 1.05 ✕ 103 m/s. If its engine has an exhaust speed of 2.45 ✕ 103 m/s, determine the required ratio Mi Mf of its initial mass to its final mass. (The difference Mi − Mf equals the mass of the ejected fuel.)
A rocket takes off from Earth and reaches a speed of 100 m/s in 10.0 s. If the exhaust speed is 1500 m/s and the mass of fuel burned is 100 kg, what was the initial mass of the rocket?
A spaceship’s orbital maneuver requires a speed increase of 1.20 x 10^3 m/s. If its engine has an exhaust speed of 2.50 x 10^3 m/s, determine the required ratio Mi/Mf of its initial mass to its final mass. (The difference Mi - Mf equals the mass of the ejected fuel.)
Suppose the mass of a rocket just as it runs out of fuel is 75400-kg, and its exhaust speed is 2.25 × 103 m/s. Calculate the maximum rate, in kilograms per second, at which the rocket can expel gases, if its acceleration cannot exceed seven times that of the gravitational acceleration on the surface of the Earth. Assume the gravitational force on the rocket is negligible.
A rocket is fired in deep space, where gravity and drag forces are 0. If the rocket has an initial mass of 6000kg, and eject gas at a relative speed of 2000m/s, how much gas must it eject in the first second (1s), to have an inital acceleration of 25m/s?
A rocket is at rest in space relative to the Earth and has a mass of M = 2.55 × 10^5 kg when it is filled with fuel and propellant. The engine consumes fuel/propellant at a constant rate of 480 kg/s with an exhaust speed of Vex = 5.35 km/s If the rocket has a “main burn” time for t = 250 s, what is the change in velocity of the rocket in km/s?
A Saturn V rocket was measured to produce exit gases with a velocity of 2000m/s whenconsuming 1500 kg/s of fuel and oxygen. Calculate the thrust.
If the foam ball has a mass of 0.025 kg, what would be its velocity 224 milliseconds after the ball is released? Is this a physically realistic system, or are your answers too big or too small to make sense?
If a rocket engine ejects gases at a rate of 29 kg/s, how fast must the gaseous exhaust be moving if the thrust produced is sufficient to allow a 2.7 x 105 kg rocket to rise slowly from the earth when aimed straight up? Express your answer in km/s.
