Chapter 5, Problem 2AC
The Apollo spacecrafts were launched toward the moon using the Saturn rocket, the most powerful rocket available. Each rocket had five engines producing a total of 33.4 × 106 N of force to launch the 2.77 × 106\metaminus kg spacecraft toward the moon. (a) Find the average acceleration of the spacecraft. (b) Calculate the altitude of the rocket 2.50 min after launch–the point when the spacecraft loses its first stage.

- As a fish jumps vertically out of the water, assume that only two significant forces act on it: an upward force F exerted by the tail fin and the downward force due to gravity. A record Chinook salmon has a length of 1.50 m and a mass of 61.0 kg. If this fish is moving upward at 3.00 m/s as its head first breaks the surface and has an upward speed of 6.00 m/s after two-thirds of its length has left the surface, assume constant acceleration and determine (a) the salmon’s acceleration and (b) the magnitude of the force F during this interval.arrow_forwardA 1.14×104 kg lunar landing craft is about to touch down on the surface of the moon, where the acceleration due to gravity is 1.60 m/sec2 at an altitude of 165 m the craft's downward velocity is 18.0 m/s to slow down the craft, a retrorocket is firing to provide an upward thrust. Assuming the descent is vertical, find the magnitude of the thrust needed to reduce the velocity to zero at the instant when the craft touches the lunar surface.arrow_forwardA parachutist (mass, m = 85 kg including parachute) has an initial velocity, v0 = 52.8 ms-1, immediately after the parachute opens.

Calculate the time it takes in seconds for the velocity to reach half the initial velocity.

- To promote their new album, Black Pink decided to launch a satellite into orbit that will intercept all airwaves and play their songs worldwide. To do this, he needs to mount a 200 [kg] satellite onto a 850 [kg] rocket. It blasts off vertically from a launch pad with a constant net upward acceleration of 3.80 [m/s2 ]. When it has reached a height of 680 [m], the satellite was released, and the rocket blew up shortly after, due to a system failure. Assume that the satellite was not damaged after the explosion. (a) What is the maximum height that the satellite will reach above the launch pad? (b) How much time will elapse after system failure before the satellite comes crashing down the launch pad? (c) How fast will the satellite be moving just before it crashes?arrow_forwardAn SUV drives on a straight-line track.

The spacecraft was launched on a rocket. At launch, the rocket has a mass of 555,000 kg and generates a force of 7.6 x 106 N. If you were to neglect the effect of gravity, what would the intial acceleration of the rocket be?

A record salmon has length 1.50 m and mass 61.0 kg. Consider the fish swimming straight upward in the water below the surface of a lake. The gravitational force exerted on it is very nearly canceled out by a buoyant force exerted by the water. The fish experiences an upward force P exerted by the water on its threshing tail fin and a downward fluid friction force that we model as acting on its front end. Assume the fluid friction force disappears as soon as the fish’s head breaks the water surface and assume the force on its tail is constant. Model the gravitational force as suddenly switching full on when half the length of the fish is out of the water. Find the value of P.arrow_forward
