This question is about the rocket flight example from section 3.7 of the notes. Suppose that a rocket is launched vertically and it is known that the exaust gases are emitted at a constant velocity of 20 m/s relative to the rocket, the initial mass is 2 kg and we take the acceleration due to gravity to be 9.81 ms-2 (a) If it is initially at rest, and after 0.2 seconds the vertical velocity is 1.05 m/s, then what is a, the rate at which it burns fuel, in kg/s ? Enter your answer to 2 decimal places. Number (b) How long does it take until the fuel is all used up? Enter in seconds correct to 2 decimal places. Number (c) If we assume that the mass of the shell is negligible, then what height would we expect the rocket to attain when all of the fuel is used up? Enter an answer in metres to decimal places. (Hint: the solution of the DE doesn't apply when m(t) = 0 but you can look at what happens as m(t) → 0. The limit lim, lnx = 0 may be useful). Enter in metres (to the nearest metre) Number +0+2

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?
According to legend, Galileo Galilei dropped two balls of different mass from the top of the leaning tower of Pisa in 1589. Whether or not this public experiment ever took place, Galileo was able to demonstrate that, contrary to Aristotle’s teaching, all bodies fall at the same rate regardless of mass, assuming that one is not so tenuous that it is slowed by air resistance. In this experiment, an equation is presented relating the acceleration of gravity at Earth’s surface, g, to the height that an object falls from, h, and the time it takes the object to reach the ground, t. Gravity acceleration at Earth’s surface has been measured many times. In British Imperial Units, Small Metric Units, and Large Metric Units, the standard values of g are: g = 32 feet per second-squared (ft/s2) g = 980 centimeters per second-squared (cm/s2) g = 9.8 meters per second-squared (m/s2). Theory Newton succeeded in explaining gravitational acceleration using his Laws of…
