Scientists are experimenting with a kind of gun that may eventually be used to fire payloads directly into orbit. In one test, this gun accelerates a 7.6-kg projectile from rest to a speed of 5.1 × 103 m/s. The net force accelerating the projectile is 6.4 × 105 N. How much time is required for the projectile to come up to speed?
A 1.9×104 kg rocket has a rocket motor that generates 2.7×105 N of thrust. The initial upward acceleration is 4.4 m/s^2. At an altitude of 5000 m the rocket's acceleration has increased to 5.3 m/s^2. What mass of fuel has it burned?
For a body at a height of 200m, what is the body's velocity when it reaches the earth's surface and the mass of the body is 25kg
Dr. Jekyll (m = 70kg) is riding a skateboard when he realizes the cranberry juice he’s drinking is sweetened with artificial sweetener and turns into Mr. Hyde (m = 155kg). If Dr. Jekyll was initially moving at 6.5m/s, what is Mr. Hyde’s speed? (assume no external forces act)
In the very Dutch sport of Fierljeppen, athletes run up to a long pole and then use it to vault across a canal. At the very top of his arc, a 55 kg vaulter is moving at 2.5 m/s and is 5.1 m from the bottom end of the pole. What vertical force does the pole exert on the vaulter?
A 2500 kilogram truck is moving initially with a velocity of 10.00 meters per second. To change its velocity from 10.00 meters per second to 20.00 meters per second in a duration of 2.00 seconds, how much Force must be applied? 7500 N 12500 N 14700 N 3750 N
Multiple Choice During a trip to Mars, a 1.700×105 kg spaceship travelling at 900. m/s fires its engines for 30.0 s; the graph above shows the thrust force as a function of time. What is the speed of the rocket after the engines shut off? Assume the rocket stays the same mass. 988 m/s 812 m/s 88.2 m/s 900. m/s
A 2.0 kg projectile with initial velocity v→ = 6.5i m/s experiences the variable force F→ = -2.0ti +4.0t2j N, where t is in s. What is the projectile's speed at t = 2.0 s? Also, at what instant of time is the projectile moving parallel to the y-axis?
Neglecting air resistance, the escape speed from a certain planet for an empty space vehicle is 1.12E4 m/s.What is the corresponding escape speed for the fully loaded vehicle which has triple the mass of the empty one?
In the amusement park ride known as Magic Mountain Superman, powerful magnets accelerate a car and its riders from rest to 45m/s (about 100mi/h) in a time of 7.0s. The combined mass of the car and riders is 5.5×103kg. Find the average net force exerted on the car and riders by the magnets.
A 6.38 × 103-kg lunar landing craft is about to touch down on the surface of the moon, where the acceleration due to gravity is 1.60 m/s2. At an altitude of 264 m the craft's downward velocity is 26.9 m/s. To slow down the craft, a retrorocket is firing to provide an upward thrust. Assuming the descent is vertical, find the magnitude of the thrust needed to reduce the velocity to zero at the instant when the craft touches the lunar surface.
