13.1 The initial total mass of the Saturn V rocket, which launched Apollo 11 to the Moon (see a movie clip on Blackboard), was 2.8 x 106 kg, and the mass of the first-stage fuel was 2.1 x 106 kg. Also assume that the thrust was 37 x 106 N, that the exhaust speed u was 2600 m/s, and that you can neglect drag. (a) Calculate the rate r = (b) After what time did the first stage burn out (assuming r is constant)? (c) Calculate the rocket's velocity vz at the “burnout time" of the first stage (which is defined by when the mass of the rocket is equal to its dry mass, Mp). dm,/ dt at which the Saturn V rocket expelled mass.

From 1946 through 1958, Col. John Stapp headed the U.S. Air Force Aero Medical Laboratory's studies of the human body's ability to tolerate high accelerations during plane crashes. Conventional wisdom at the time indicated that a plane's negative acceleration should not exceed 180 m/s2 (18 times gravitational acceleration, or 18g). Stapp and his colleagues built a 700-kg "Gee Whiz" rocket sled, track, and stopping pistons to measure human tolerance to high acceleration. Starting in June 1949, Stapp and other live subjects rode the sled. In one of Stapp's rides, the sled started at rest and 360 m later was traveling at speed 67 m/s when its braking system was applied, stopping the sled in 6.0 m. He had demonstrated that 18g was not a limit for human deceleration. Find the time interval for Stapp and his sled to stop as their speed decreased from 67 m/s to zero.

Suppose you are navigating a spacecraft far from other objects. The mass of the spacecraft is 3.2 × 104 kg (about 32 tons). The rocket engines are shut off, and you're coasting along with a constant velocity of km/s. As you pass the location km you briefly fire side thruster rockets, so that your spacecraft experiences a net force of N for 23.0 s. The ejected gases have a mass that is small compared to the mass of the spacecraft. You then continue coasting with the rocket engines turned off. Where are you an hour later? (Think about what approximations or simplifying assumptions you made in your analysis. Also think about the choice of system: what are the surroundings that exert external forces on your system?) 7₁ = m

Pluto and its satellite Charon have masses which are more similar to each other than any other knonw pair of orbiting bodies in the Solar system. How far from the center of pluto is the barycenter or center of mass of the Pluto-Charon system? Take the mass of Pluto to be 1.31 × 10^22 kg, and 1.59 × 10^21 kg for Charon (about one eighth that of Pluto). Assume Pluto and its moon Charon are separated by 19,640 km while the radius of Pluto and Charon are 1190 km and that of Charon are 606 km respectively. Treating Pluto and Charon as spherically symmetric objects, how far from Pluto is the barycenter of the Pluto - Charon pair, and is this point inside are outside of Pluto? Hint: Place Pluto at the origin and Charon on the x axis. A. 289 km; inside B. 781 km; inside C. 2130 km; outside D. 5910 km; outside
