A 0.2 kg rocket that was launched is moving at 60 m/s when it ignites its boosters and 425 J of work was done by the force generated burning of the propellant in its boosters. Find the speed of the rockets after is has moved up 29 m from its ignition.

Answer #1

Solution :

Given :

mass (m) = 0.2 kg

initial velocity (u) = 60 m/s

Work done by force generated burning of the propellant in its boosters (WP) = 425 J

Height (h) = 29 m

According to Work-Energy principle : Change in Kinetic energy = Net Work done.

KEfinal - KEinitial = WP - Wgravity

(1/2) m v2 - (1/2) m u2 = WP - m g h

(0.5)(0.2 kg) v2 - (0.5)(0.2 kg)(60 m/s)2 = (425 J) - (0.2 kg)(9.81 m/s2)(29 m)

(0.1) v2 - 360 = 368.102

v2 = 7281.02

v = 85.33 m/s

A 2400-kg test rocket is launched vertically from the launch pad. Its fuel (of negligible mass) provides a thrust force so that its vertical velocity as a function of time is given by v(t)=At+Bt2, where A and B are constants and time is measured from the instant the fuel is ignited. At the instant of ignition, the rocket has an upward acceleration of 1.90 m/s2 and 1.20 s later an upward velocity of 1.50 m/s . Part A) Determine A....

A 1590 kg rocket is to be launched with an initial upward speed of 50.0 m/s . In order to assist its engines, the engineers will start it from rest on a ramp that rises 53 ∘ above the horizontal (the figure (Figure 1)). At the bottom, the ramp turns 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.
