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?
A person is pushing a 8 kg block along a horiontal surface at a constant speed of 15.4 m/s. The person is applying a force of 8.9 N to the block at an angle of 36.7° above horizontal. If the block moves a distance of 3.55 m, what is the magnitude of the impulse parted upon the block by the force of gravity?

two long barges are moving in the same direction in still water, one with a speed of 10 km/h and the other with a speed of 20 km/h.While they are passing each other, coal is shoveled from the slower to the faster one at a rate of 1000 kg/min. How much additional force must be provided by the driving engines of (a) the faster barge and (b) the slower barge if neither is to change speed? Assume that the shoveling is always perfectly sideways and that the frictional forces between the barges and the water do not depend on the mass of the barges
A new design of Saturn 19 rocket with mass 1.53 x 106 kg has a propulsion engine that can eject gases at a constant speed of 392.1 m/s (vGas) by burning fuel at a rate of 2.77 x 105 kg/s (dmdT). In full tank, the rocket can carry a fuel of mass 49.84 x 106 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). (Pitch Angle = 0)
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?
In a research facility, a person lies on a horizontal platform which floats on a film of air. When the person's heart beats, it pushes a mass m of blood into the aorta with speed v, and the body and platform move in the opposite direction with speed V. Assume that the blood's speed is 56.5 cm/s. The mass of the person + platform is 54.0 kg. The platform moves 5.95 ✕ 10−5 m in 0.160 s after one heartbeat. Calculate the mass (in g) of blood that leaves the heart. Assume that the mass of blood is negligible compared with the total mass of the person, and the person + platform is initially at rest. (Also assume that the changes in velocity are instantaneous.)
A rocket motor is undergoing a "bench test." It is attached to a fixed support by four large springs of constant 10^6 N/m. The motor burns fuel at a rate of 50 kg/s. When the motor is running the springs are observed to stretch 1.5 cm. Determine the exhaust speed of the burned fuel.
A plane has an airspeed of 500 km/h. The course should be due east for a distance of 800 km. In order to fly due east the navigator decided to keep the direction 37 degree north of east. It took two hours for the airplane to reach its destination. Find the wind velocity. A rifle bullet with the mass of 9 grams is fired with the speed of 300 m/s at a target 800 m away at the same level as a gun. Find the angle above the horizontal that it must be fired to hit the target. Find the maximum height reached by the bullet. Find the time the bullet is in the air.
A spaceship’s orbital maneuver requires a speed increase of 1.20 x 10^3 m/s. If its engine has an exhaust speed of 2.50 x 10^3 m/s, determine the required ratio Mi/Mf of its initial mass to its final mass. (The difference Mi - Mf equals the mass of the ejected fuel.)
If a rocket engine ejects gases at a rate of 29 kg/s, how fast must the gaseous exhaust be moving if the thrust produced is sufficient to allow a 2.7 x 105 kg rocket to rise slowly from the earth when aimed straight up? Express your answer in km/s.
