A rocket is traveling at an altitude at which the gravitational acceleration is known to be g = 26.5 ft/s². The thrust on the rocket produces an acceleration of ar = 29.3 ft/s² along the axis of the rocket. At the position shown (0 = 36.87 degrees) the speed of the rocket is known to be v = 2800 ft/s. Determine: (a) the rate of change of speed of the rocket at this instant (b) the radius of curvature for the rocket's path at this instant

The horizontal motion of the plunger and shaft is arrested by the resistance of the attached disk which moves through the oil bath. The velocity of the plunger is v0 = 3.8 m/s in the position A where x = 0 and t = 0, and the deceleration is proportional to v so that a = -kv where k = 0.61 s-1. Find (a) the velocity when t = 5.5 s, (b) the position x when t = 5.5 s, (c) the velocity when x = 3.5 m.

I Suppose an autonomous surface vessel (ASV) traveling with velocity TvG/O= vi₁ begins to make a turn by adjusting the thrust of its left and right thrusters, TA and TB, respectively. The center of mass of the ASV is located at G and the ASV is symmetric about its vertical axis. The ASV also experiences a drag force that is proportional to its speed and opposes its velocity. At the instant shown, the drag force is D = -kvi₁ where k is a drag coefficient. 1. To model the mass moment of inertia, approximate the ASV as consisting of three rigid bodies: a flat plate as a center body of mass 6m and two slender rods housing the propulsion assemblies, each of mass m, at the outboard sides of the vehicle. Determine the mass moment of inertia, IG, about the vertical axis passing through the center of mass G. (Hint: Use the parallel axis theorem.) 2. At the instant shown, determine the inertial acceleration vector ac/o = axi₁ + ayi2 of the center of mass and the angular acceleration a of the…

An aircraft performs a maneuver called an "aileron roll." During this maneuver, the plane turns like a screw as it maintains a straight flight path, which sets the wings in circular motion. If it takes it 35 s to complete the circle and the wingspan of the plane is 11 m, what is the acceleration of the wing tip? Express your answer in m/s².
