An experimental rocket sled weighs 5230 Ib and is propelled by six rocket motors each with an impulse rating of 9100 lb-sec. The rockets are fired one after the other at 1.4-sec intervals, and the duration of each rocket firing is 3.0 sec. If the velocity of the sled 12.3 sec from the start is 201 mi/hr, determine the time average R of the total aerodynamic and mechanical resistance to motion. Neglect the loss of mass due to exhausted fuel compared with the mass of the sled. Rocket thrust Answer: R Ib

Collar A has a mass of 3 kg and is attached to a spring of constant 1200 N/m and of undeformed length equal to 0.5 m. The system is set in motion with r = 0.3 m, v0 = 2 m/s, and vr = 0. Neglecting the mass of the rod and the effect of friction, determine (a) the maximum distance between the origin and the collar, (b) the corresponding speed. (Hint: Solve the equation obtained for rby trial and error.)
A jogger with mass m = 55 kg uses energy at a rate of P = 802 W when she jogs on horizontal ground at a constant speed of s = 3.5 m/s. The efficiency of her “human engine” however, is e = 0.27. (In other words, the power used for locomotion is e = 0.27 times the total power.) Q) Write an expression for the rate of energy expenditure whenshe jogs at the same constant speed up a slope of 4.99 degrees. Assume whatever frictional or drag forces are the same in each case. Your answer should be in terms of the symbols given in the problem statement and g(9.80 m/s^2)
Application of de A motorboat and its load weigh 2,450 N. AssumIng that the propeller force is constant and equal to 120 N, and water resistance is equal numerically to 7.50v N, where v is the speed at any instant in m/sec., and if the boat starts from rest, determine the speed and the distance traveled at the end of 10 seconds.
A two-engine jet transport has a loaded weight of 72000 lb and a forward thrust of 9710 lb per engine during takeoff. If the transport requires 3950 ft of level runway starting from rest to become airborne at a speed of 138 knots (1 knot = 1.151 mi/hr), determine the average resistance R to motion over the runway length due to drag (air resistance) and mechanical retardation by the landing gear. R = _______lb
A two-engine jet transport has a loaded weight of 71000 lb and a forward thrust of 9370 lb per engine during takeoff. If the transport requires 3940 ft of level runway starting from rest to become airborne at a speed of 135 knots (1 knot = 1.151 mi/hr), determine the average resistance R to motion over the runway length due to drag (air resistance) and mechanical retardation by the landing gear.
The carnival ride from Prob. 12.51 is modified so that the 80-kg riders can move up and down the inclined wall as the speed of the ride increases. Assuming that the friction between the wall and the carriage is negligible, determine the position h of the rider if the speed v0 = 13 m/s.Reference to Problem 12.51:
The second stage of a two-stage rocket weighs 2000 lb (empty) and is launched from the first stage with a velocity of 3000 mi/h. The fuel in the second stage weighs 1000 lb. If it is consumed at the rate of 50lb/s and ejected with a relative velocity of 8000 ft/s, determine the acceleration of the second stage just after the engine is fired. What is the rocket’s acceleration just before all the fuel is consumed? Neglect the effect of gravitation.
A bowling ball is attached to a 4.15-meter long cable and hung from the ceiling. The cable is kept taut and the ball is raised to an initial height of 1.7 meters above the classroom floor. It is released from rest and allowed to swing as a pendulum. Determine its speed (in m/s) when it is at a height of 1.27 meters above the floor.
Two weights of 96 pounds and 64 pounds move horizontally on a surface smooth, each spring has k = k1 = k2 = 600. At t = 0 the springs are unstretched and the weight of 96 has a velocity of 600 ft/sec away from the wall and the other is in repose. Solve the system of equations for the given conditions, and explain how the equations of motion are obtained for each mass ('x(t)' and 'y(t)').
While scrambling directly toward the sideline at a speed vQ = 18 ft/sec, the football quarterback Q throws a pass toward the stationary receiver R. At what angle α should the quarterback release the ball? The speed of the ball relative to the quarterback is 67 ft/sec. Treat the problem as two-dimensional.
The amusement park ride consists of a 200-kg car and passenger that are traveling at 4.6 m/s along a circular path having a radius of 8 m. At t = 0, the cable OA is pulled in toward O at 0.5 m/s. (Figure 1) Part A: Determine the speed of the car when t = 4 s. Express your answer to three significant figures and include the appropriate units. Part B:
The disc weighing 5 kg was tied with an unextended elastic cord of 0.5 m in length, as shown in the figure. As the disk passes through point B, its speed is vB=5 m/s and the length of the elastic cord is r=1.5 m. a) Determine the speed of the disc when r = 1.2 m, b) the shortening speed of the elastic cord when r = 1.2 m.
