A rocket moving in outer space maintains a constant acceleration (magnitude = 20 m/s2) while ejecting fuel at aspeed of 15 km/s relative to the rocket. If the initial mass of the rocket is 3 000 kg, what is the magnitude of thethrust after 800 kg of fuel have been consumed?

A shuttle in outer space moving with speed 10m/s gets a constant acceleration of 3 m/s2 at 30 deg to its initial direction of motion for 3s. This maneuver is performed to change the direction of the shuttle. Part A: Find the direction after the 3s relative to the initial direction. Part B:  Find the magnitude of the displacement in these 3s.

A rocket accelerates by burning its onboard fuel, so its mass decreases with time. Suppose the initial mass of the rocket at liftoff (including its fuel) is m, the fuel is consumed at rate r, and the exhaust gases are ejected with constant velocity ve (relative to the rocket). A model for the velocity of the rocket at time t is given by the equation v(t) = −gt − ve ln m − rt m where g is the acceleration...

One day while moving boxes you get tired and decide to use a rocket instead. You attach a small rocket of negligible mass to a 8.48 kg box. When you turn the rocket on, it provides a constant thrust of 192 N, and the sbox begins sliding across the pavement. If the magnitude of acceleration of the box is 12.8 m/s2, what is the coefficient of kinetic friction between the soapbox and pavement? 1.00 3.62 3.82 1.31
