A rocket burns in 2 stages. In stage 1, .35mo is burned. It then releases the first stage tank (of mass .1mo ), and then burns the 2nd stage (.25mo). It does not release the second tank afterwards. What is the final speed of the rocket assuming no external forces are present?
The Merlin rocket engines developed by SpaceX can produce 7.12 ✕ 105 N of instantaneous thrust with an exhaust speed of 3.05 ✕ 103 m/s in vacuum. What mass of fuel does the engine burn each second to produce this thrust? (Enter your answer in kg/s.)
ASAP PLS SHOW ALL WORK In the movie “The Martian”, an astronaut needs to propel himself through space to get to a spaceship. He attempts to do this by puncturing the glove in his spacesuit, which contains 3.00 kg of air under pressure. He is initially at rest, with a mass (including the spacesuit and air) of 75.0 kg. If the air comes out at 28.0 m/s at a constant rate, what final speed does he reach when the air is used up?
The Merlin rocket engines developed by SpaceX can produce 7.44 x 105 N of instantaneous thrust with exhaust speed of 3.05 x 10³ m/s in vacuum. What mass of fuel does the engine burn each second to produce this thrust? (Enter your answer in kg/s.) HINT kg/s
A rocket with an initial mass of 1.56E6 kg is blasting-off. If the velocity of the expelled fuel is initially 3.11E3 m/s and it is being expelled at an initial rate of 9.40E3 kg/s, what is the initial acceleration during this lift-off?
I would appreciate some hwlp with this question. Thanks! A model rocket consisting of a 61.0-g chassis and a 30.5-g engine is taken on an interstellar mission and fired in outer space. The engine produces 5.00 N of thrust while expending 13.0 g of fuel at a constant rate during a 2.04-s burn. (Assume the mass of the engine includes the mass of the fuel.) (a) What is the average exhaust speed of this rocket's engine? (b) If the rocket starts from rest, what is its final velocity? (Assume the thrust to be in the positive direction. Indicate the direction with the sign of your answer.)
