Question
A new design of Saturn 12 rocket with mass 1.22 x106 kg has a propulsion engine that can eject gases at a constant speed of 266.42 m/s (vGas) by burning fuel at a rate of 4.95 x10 5 kg/s (dmdT). In full tank, the rocket can carry a fuel of mass 44.07 x10 6 kg.
If this design exceeds the velocity of 11,200 m/s it can successfully escape Earth's gravity. Determine if this is so. Find its maximum velocity (velyZ) in a PhysLab virtual simulation. (Pitch Angle = 0)
