Chapter 8, Problem 2EAP
A 500 g model rocket is on a cart that is rolling to the right at a speed of 3.0 m/s. The rocket engine, when it is fired, exerts an 8.0 N vertical thrust on the rocket. Your goal is to have the rocket pass through a small horizontal hoop that is 20 m above the ground. At what horizontal distance left of the hoop should you launch?

A simple pendulum with a massless string of length = 40cm and bob of mass m = 1.18kg is released from rest at t = 0s with initial angle theta= 5.80° measured relative to the vertical direction. (a) What angle does the total translational acceleration vector of the bob make with the radial direction at t = 0.34 s? (b) What is the tension in the string at t = 0.42 s?
A rocket moving in space, far from all other objects, has a speed of 3.0 x 103 m/s relative to the Earth. Its engines are turned on, and fuel is ejected in a direction opposite the rocket’s motion at a speed of 5.0 x 103 m/s relative to the rocket. (A) What is the speed of the rocket relative to the Earth once the rocket’s mass is reduced to half its mass before ignition? (B) What is the thrust on the rocket if it burns fuel at the rate of 50 kg/s?
A projectile is launched on a horizontal plane with a speed of 30 m/s and an angle of 45° with the horizontal. The projectile explodes 1.5 seconds after launch, splitting into 2 parts. The first part, with 1/3 of the total mass, lands exactly at the origin of the launch. How far from the launch point will the second part fall?
