Chapter 14.3, Problem 14.93P
A rocket sled burns fuel at the constant rate of 120 lb/s. The initial weight of the sled is 1800 lb, including 360 lb of fuel. Assume that the track is lubricated and the sled is aerodynamically designed so that air resistance and friction are negligible. (a) Derive a formula for the acceleration a of the sled as a function of time t and the exhaust velocity vex of the burned fuel relative to the sled. Plot the ratio a/vex versus time t for the range 0 < t < 4 s, and check the slope of the graph at t = 0 and t = 4 s using the formula for a. (b) Determine the ratio of the velocity vb of the sled at burnout to the exhaust velocity vex.

nozzle and target equal four times a nozzle's diameter and the diameter for nozzle equal
1cm depend on this information to answer following questions:
1. determine the velocity at nozzle
2. determine the impact force
3. if we change the target to hemispherical, determine the ration between two forces
A small rocket is launched vertically from rest and it accelerates uniformly at 26 m/s² for a
period of 13 s, at which point all of its fuel is used. The rocket then continues to travel freely
in the vertical direction until it eventually reaches its maximum altitude, after which it falls to
earth.
Working to 4 significant figures, calculate for the rocket:
(a) Its velocity at the instant when all of its fuel is used. m/s
(b) Its altitude at the instant when all of its fuel is used. m
(c)
(i) The time taken for the rocket to slow from the point it runs out of fuel until it reaches
maximum altitude. S
(ii) The total time taken to reach its maximum altitude S
(d) The maximum altitude reached m
(e) Its velocity at the instant just prior to impact with the ground.
m/s
