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.
NASA's Saturn V rockets that launched astronauts to the moon were powered by the strongest rocket engine ever developed, providing 6.77 × 10° N of thrust while burning fuel at a rate of 2.63 x 103 kg/s. Calculate the engine's exhaust speed (in m/s). HINT m/s
A kids rocket team launches one smaller rocket through a guide tube 1.7 m long. The rocket has a mass of 450 g and the exhaust pressure in the tube provides a constant net force of 265 N. I already answered part (a) I just need help with part (b) A. How fast will the rocket be moving when it exits the tube? 44.5 m/s answer The kids rocket team now launches the rocket from a baseball outfield so in lands ontop of a new parking structure, 15 m above launch point and 32 m (horizontally) from the launch point. Unfortunately, tilting the launch tube greatly increases the friction, slowing the rocket. B. What is the minimum launch speed (neglecting air resistance) so that the rocket will just barely make it to the edge of the roof?

You are part of a team in an engineering class that is working on a scale model of a new design for a life vest. You have been asked to find the mass of a piece of foam that will be used for flotation. Because the piece is too bulky to fit on your balance, you break it into two parts. You measure the mass of the first part as 128.3 0.3 g and the second part as 77.0 0.3 g. a. What are the maximum and minimum values for the total mass you might reasonably report? b. What is the best estimate for the total mass of the foam? Hint: Propagation of uncertainty is described in Appendix A.
