- NASAs 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 engines exhaust speed.arrow_forwardWhat exhaust speed is required to accelerate a rocket in deep space from 800 m/s to 1000 m/s in 5.0 s if the total rocket mass is 1200 kg and the rocket only has 50 kg of fuel left?arrow_forwardCheck Your Understanding Notice that the mass of the air in the tank was neglected in the analysis and solution. How would the solution method changed if the air was included? How large difference do you think if would make in the final answer?arrow_forward
- How much fuel would be needed for a 1000-kg rocket (this is its mass with no fuel) to take off from Earth and reach 1000 m/s in 30 s? The exhaust speed is 1000 m/s.arrow_forwardA model rocket engine has an average thrust of 5.26 N. It has an initial mass of 25.5 g, which includes fuel mass of 12.7 g. The duration of its burn is 1.90 s. (a) What is the average exhaust speed of the engine? (b) This engine is placed in a rocket body of mass 53.5 g. What is the final velocity of the rocket if it were to be fired from rest in outer space by an astronaut on a spacewalk? Assume the fuel burns at a constant rate.arrow_forward(COLLAB) A new design of Saturn 16 rocket with mass 1.7 x10° kg has a propulsion engine that can eject gases at a constant speed of 384.28 m/s (vGas) by burning fuel at a rate of 2.99 x10 If this design exceeds the velocity of 11,200 m/s it can successfully escape Earth's gravity. Determine if this is so. Find its maximum velocity (velyZ) in a PhysLab virtual simulation. (Pitch Angle = 0) kg/s (dmdT). In full tank, the rocket can carry a fuel of mass 47.32 x10 ° kg.arrow_forward
- A spaceship’s orbital maneuver requires a speed increase of 1.20 x 10^3 m/s. If its engine has an exhaust speed of 2.50 x 10^3 m/s, determine the required ratio Mi/Mf of its initial mass to its final mass. (The difference Mi - Mf equals the mass of the ejected fuel.)arrow_forwardThe puffer fish (tetradontiade) can employ a defense mechanism whereby it fills its stomach with water until the fish is almost spherical in shape. The shape, in conjunction with its external spines, are a significant deterrent to predators. Suppose that a puffer fish takes in water until its mass has increased by f = 1.89 times its initial mass. In this state, and initially at rest, the puffer fish expels the water with a speed s in one direction, while the fish recoils in the opposite direction at a speed v. For this problem neglect the drag-force effects of the surrounding ocean water. Write an expression for v/s in terms of f.arrow_forward2) (A)as shown in fig (1) ,m2 = 2 kg. h2 = 3 m ,ml = 4 kg. . hl = 0.95 m, and uk = 0.25. estimate (a) the velocity vl of mass ml as it hits the ground.(b) the kineticenergy of mlarrow_forward
- During a violent thunderstorm, hail of diameter 0.59 cm falls directly downward at a speed of 30 m/s. There are estimated to be 130 hailstones per cubic meter of air. (a) What is the mass (in g) of each hailstone (density = 0.92 g/cm3)? (b) Assuming that the hail does not bounce, find the magnitude of the average force on a flat roof measuring 12 m x 19 m due to the impact of the hail. (Hint: During impact, the force on a hailstone from the roof is approximately equal to the net force on the hailstone, because the gravitational force on it is small.)arrow_forwardM of its initial mass to ME 3 A spaceship's orbital maneuver requires a speed increase of 1.05 x 10° m/s. If its engine has an exhaust speed of 2.85 x 10° m/s, determine the required ratio its final mass. (The difference M, - M, equals the mass of the ejected fuel.) HINT Need Help?
