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 model rocket is fired straight up from the top of a 50-m-tall building. The rocket has only
enough fuel to burn for 2 s. But while the rocket engine is burning fuel, it produces an upward
acceleration of 50 m/s². After the fuel supply is exhausted, the rocket is in free fall and just misses
the edge of the building as it falls back to the ground. Ignoring air resistance, calculate (a) the
height above the ground and the velocity of the rocket when its fuel runs out; (b) the maximum
height of the rocket; (c) the time the rocket is in the air; and (d) the rocket's velocity the moment
before it hits the ground.
