- To apply conservation of momentum to describe the motion of a rocket. A rocket is launched into deep space, where gravity is negligible. In the first second, it ejects 1/160 of its mass as exhaust gas and has an acceleration of 16.0 m/s2. What is vg, the speed of the exhaust gas relative to the rocket?arrow_forwardthe magnitude of the velocity is known as the speed and it is generally expressed in units of m/s^2 or ft/^2. true or falsearrow_forwardAn engineer designing a light aircraft is trying to make an estimate of the diameter of the propeller needed. The design speed of the aircraft is 69m/s into still air and at this speed experience allows the engineer to assume a propeller efficiency of 88%. Other analysis shows that a thrust of 10906N must be supplied by the propeller to maintain this speed. Assuming a constant air density of 1.19 kg/m3 , determine the diameter of the ideal propeller in m to 1 decimal place.arrow_forward
