The mass of the rocket atthis time is 4.0 * 104 kg, and its acceleration is 2.0 m/s2. (a) What isthe thrust of the engine? (b) At what rate, in kilograms per second,is exhaust ejected during the firing?

A 1060 kg rocket is to be launched with an initial upward speed of 53.0 m/s. In order to assist its engines, the engineers will start it from rest on a ramp that rises 53 above the horizontal (Eigure 1). At the bottom, the ramp tums upward and launches the rocket vertically. The engines provide a constant forward thrust of 2000 N. and friction with the ramp surface is a constant 500 N Figure Rocket starts here. 53 1 of 1 Rocket is. launched upward.

I would appreciate some hwlp with this question. Thanks! A model rocket consisting of a 61.0-g chassis and a 30.5-g engine is taken on an interstellar mission and fired in outer space. The engine produces 5.00 N of thrust while expending 13.0 g of fuel at a constant rate during a 2.04-s burn. (Assume the mass of the engine includes the mass of the fuel.) (a) What is the average exhaust speed of this rocket's engine? (b) If the rocket starts from rest, what is its final velocity? (Assume the thrust to be in the positive direction. Indicate the direction with the sign of your answer.)
