A new design of Saturn 10 rocket with mass 1.86 x106 kg has a propulsion engine that can eject gases at a constant speed of 250.38 m/s (vGas) by burning fuel at a rate of 4.42  x10 5  kg/s (dmdT). In full tank, the rocket can carry a fuel of mass 41.77  x10 6  kg.

If this design exceeds the velocity of 11,200 m/s it can successfully escape Earth's gravity. Determine if this is so. Find its maximum velocity (velyZ) in a PhysLab virtual simulation. (Pitch Angle = 0)

(COLLAB) A new design of Saturn 10 rocket with mass 1.86 x10° kg has a propulsion engine that can eject gases at a constant speed of 250.38 m/s (vGas) by burning
fuel at a rate of 4.42 x10 5 kg/s (dmdT). In full tank, the rocket can carry a fuel of mass 41.77 x10 6 kg.
If this design exceeds the velocity of 11,200 m/s it can successfully escape Earth's gravity. Determine if this is so. Find its maximum velocity (velyz) in a PhysLab
