Chapter 14.3, Problem 14.93P
A rocket sled burns fuel at the constant rate of 120 lb/s. The initial weight of the sled is 1800 lb, including 360 lb of fuel. Assume that the track is lubricated and the sled is aerodynamically designed so that air resistance and friction are negligible. (a) Derive a formula for the acceleration a of the sled as a function of time t and the exhaust velocity vex of the burned fuel relative to the sled. Plot the ratio a/vex versus time t for the range 0 < t < 4 s, and check the slope of the graph at t = 0 and t = 4 s using the formula for a. (b) Determine the ratio of the velocity vb of the sled at burnout to the exhaust velocity vex.

A jogger with mass m = 55 kg uses energy at a rate of P = 802 W when she jogs on horizontal ground at a constant speed of s = 3.5 m/s. The efficiency of her “human engine” however, is e = 0.27. (In other words, the power used for locomotion is e = 0.27 times the total power.)
Q) Write an expression for the rate of energy expenditure whenshe jogs at the same constant speed up a slope of 4.99 degrees. Assume whatever frictional or drag forces are the same in each case. Your answer should be in terms of the symbols given in the problem statement and g(9.80 m/s^2)
A steel wire connects two trains at rest on the same track. The wire will snapif it is stretched by as much as 1 percent. The trains begin to accelerate in such away that their velocities, as measured in the ground frame, are always equal.Eventually, the wire snaps. Explain carefully why this happens. How fast are thetrains moving when the wire snaps?
