A 1060 kg rocket is to be launched with an initial upward speed of 53.0 m/s. In order to assist its engines, the engineers will start it from rest on a ramp that rises 53 above the horizontal (Eigure 1). At the bottom, the ramp tums 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 Figure Rocket starts here. 53 1 of 1 Rocket is. launched upward.

The engines of a tanker broke down and the wind pushes the ship with a constant speed of 1.5 m / s straight towards a reef. When the boat is 500 m from the reef, the wind stops and the engineer manages to start the engines. The rudder is stuck, so the only option is to try to accelerate backwards. The mass of the ship and its cargo is 3.6 x 107 kg and the engines produce a net horizontal force of 8 x 104 N. The hull can withstand impacts at a speed of 0.2 m / s or less. The retarding force that the water exerts on the hull of the ship can be neglected. a) The equation of motion that corresponds to the horizontal component is? b)The acceleration of the ship is equal to? c) If the reef does not exist, the vessel, before stopping, travels what distance?
A small rocket for gathering weather data has a mass of 30 kg and generates 1500 N of thrust. On a windy day, the wind exerts a 20 N horizontal force on the rocket. If the rocket is launched straight up, what is the shape of its trajectory, and by how much has it been deflected sideways when it reaches a height of 1.0 km? Because the rocket goes much higher than this, assume there’s no significant mass loss during the first 1.0 km of flight.
A 1580 kg rocket is to be launched with an initial upward speed of 59.0 m/s. In order to assist its engines, the engineers will start it from rest on a ramp that rises 53° above the horizontal (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.

A 40,000-kg cargo plane on board an aircraft carrier is to deliver relief supplies to a far-flung city devastated by typhoon. After being shipped near the location, the plane is to take off assisted by a steam catapult with a force of 30,000 N that acts like a big slingshot for the plane to be successfully launched. The takeoff deck is only 250 m long and the plane engine generates a maximum thrust of 60,000 N. The plane needs an airspeed of 160 km/hr at the end of the runway to get airborne. Will the plane be able to takeoff or not? Support your answer with computations a. yes b. none of the choices c. no d. either yes or no
A wind turbine, 12 m in diameter, operates at sea level in a wind of 23 m/s. The wake or downstream velocity is measured as 2 m/s. Local air density is 1.2 kg/m³. Estimate the thrust (in N) on the turbine.
The average thrust created by the first stage engine of a model rocket is 50N. The rocket has an average weight of 10N with a burn time of 2 seconds. The rocket is initially fired vertically upward. When the rocket reaches maximum height, a second engine is fired creating a horizontal velocity (only) of 50m/s. Where does the rocket land relative to its launch point? Assume it was launched on a horizontal plain.
At liftoff, the engines of the Saturn V rocket consumed 13000 kg/s of fuel and exhausted the combustion products at 2900 m/s. What was the total upward force (thrust) provided by the engines?
A clever coyote uses rocket powered skates to try to catch a roadrunner. The mass of the coyote is 38.1 kg. If the coyote starts from rest, and accelerates to a final speed of 26 m/s in a distance of 2.4 m, how much thrust force did the rockets excert to get him to his final speed? Assume this thrust is constant over the 2.4 m.
During a rescue operation, a 5300-kg helicopterhovers above a fixed point. The helicopter blades send air downward with a speed of 62 m>s. What mass of air must pass throughthe blades every second to produce enough thrust for the helicopter to hover?
A tripod holding a nozzle, which directs a 5-cmdiameter stream of water from a hose. The nozzle mass is 10 kg when filled with water. The tripod is rated to provide 1800 N of holding force. A firefighter was standing 60 cm behind the nozzle and was hit by the nozzle when the tripod suddenly failed and released the nozzle. You have been hired as an accident reconstructionist and, after testing the tripod, have determined that as water flow rate increased, it did collapse at 1800 N. In your final report you must state the water velocity and the flow rate consistent with the failure and the nozzle velocity when it hit the firefighter. For simplicity, ignore pressure and momentum effects in the upstream portion of the hose.
Two stationary hockey players push each other so that they move in opposite directions. One player has a mass 38.7 kg and a speed of 2.8 m/s. What is the mass of the other player if her speed is 3.8 m/s ? Neglect friction.
