Balancing carefully, three boys inch out onto a horizontal tree branch above a pond, each planning to dive in separately. The third boy in line notices that the branch is barely strong enough to support them. He decides to jump straight up and land back on the branch to break it, spilling all three into the pond. When he starts to carry out his plan, at what precise moment does the branch break? Explain. Suggestion: Pretend to be the third boy and imitate what he does in slow motion. If you are still unsure, stand on a bathroom scale and repeat the suggestion.
A system can have a nonzero velocity while the net external force on it is zero. Describe such a situation.
Review. The first stage of a Saturn V space vehicle consumed fuel and oxidizer at the rate of 150 104 kg/s with an exhaust speed of 2.60 101 m/s. (a) Calculate the thrust produced by this engine. (b) Find the acceleration the vehicle had just as it lifted off the launch pad on the Earth, taking the vehicles initial mass as 3.00 106 kg.
Professional Application (a) Calculate the maximum rate at which a rocket can expel gases if its acceleration cannot exceed seven times that of gravity. The mass of the rocket just as it runs out of fuel is 75,000-kg, and its exhaust velocity is 2.40103 m/s. Assume that the acceleration of gravity is the same as on Earth's surface (9.80 m/s2). (b) Why might it be necessary to limit the acceleration of a rocket?

NASA's Saturn V rockets that launched astronauts to the moon were powered by the strongest rocket engine ever developed, providing 6.77 ✕ 106 N of thrust while burning fuel at a rate of 2.63 ✕ 103 kg/s. Calculate the engine's exhaust speed (in m/s).

Professional Application - (a) Calculate the maximum rate at which a rocket can expel gases if its acceleration cannot exceed seven times that of gravity. The mass of the rocket just as it runs out of fuel is 75,000-kg, and its exhaust velocity is 2.40x10 m/s. Assume that the acceleration of gravity is the same as on Earth’s surface (9.80 m/s2). (b) Why might it be necessary to limit the acceleration of a rocket?
5. The main engines of the space shuttle each burn fuel at a rate of 492 kg/s. The exhaust gases have a velocity of 3390 m/s, 270.0°. (a) What is the thrust developed by each of the main engines? (b) The solid boosters produce a thrust of 11.8 MN. Assuming the exhaust velocity is the same as the main engines what is the mass burn rate?
A 6100 kg rocket is set for vertical firing from the ground. If the exhaust speed is 1200 m/s, how much gas must be ejected each second if the thrust (a) is to equal the magnitude of the gravitational force on the rocket and (b) is to give the rocket an initial upward acceleration of 21 m/s2?
