- A 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_forwardTo lift off from the Moon, a 9.50 105 kg rocket needs a thrust larger than the force of gravity. If the exhaust velocity is 4.25 103 m/s, at what rate does the exhaust need to be expelled to provide sufficient thrust? The acceleration due to gravity on the Moon is 1.62 m/s2.arrow_forwarda 9.7 kg block of wood resting on a platform was hit by a 31 g of bullet travelling upward with a speed of 752 m/s.

The batter strikes the ball with a force of 22,000 N. The bat and ball are in contact for 0.500 ms. Assuming that the force is exactly opposite to the original direction of the ball, determine the final speed up of the ball.

You decide to do some experiments to find out more about your strange situation. Your own body mass is 59.1 kg. This time you drop a ball from a height of 1.93 m and it hits the floor 0.251 s after you drop it. This time you suspect you are on a rocket that has just left the surface of the Earth, and is still not too far above the ground. What do you deduce the rocket s acceleration to be? 82.4 m/s^2 51.5 m/s^2 71.1 m/s^2 61.3 m/s^2arrow_forward
