Chapter 4, Problem 122P
A rocket sled with initial mass of 3 metric tons, including 1 ton of fuel, rests on a level section of track. At t = 0, the solid fuel of the rocket is ignited and the rocket burns fuel at the rate of 75 kg/s. The exit speed of the exhaust gas relative to the rocket is 2500 m/s, and the pressure is atmospheric. Neglecting friction and air resistance, calculate the acceleration and speed of the sled at t = 10 s.

The rocket shown is designed to test the operation of a new guidance system. When it has reached a certain altitude beyond the
effective influence of the earth's atmosphere, its mass has decreased to 2.49 Mg, and its trajectory is 0= 34° from the vertical. Rocket
fuel is being consumed at the rate of 130 kg/s with an exhaust velocity of 625 m/s relative to the nozzle. Gravitational acceleration is
9.54 m/s² at its altitude. Calculate the n- and t-components of the acceleration of the rocket.

The weight of a Falcon rocket is 500,000 kg. It will be landed on earth at a constant
speed of 100 m/s. To slow down the rocket, combustion gases will be fired at the
bottom and leave the rocket at a constant rate of 150 kg/s at a relative velocity of 5000
m/s in the direction of motion of the spacecraft for a period of 10 s. If the mass change
of the Falcon rocket cannot be ignored, determine
(a) the deceleration of the rocket during this period,
(b) the thrust exerted on the rocket.
Consider the fall of a pole vaulting athlete as a projectile once the pole is released. The pole has a lake of
15.8 feet and once the athlete releases the pole they will find a mattress 2 feet high, 10 feet wide and 16
feet long, which protects them in the fall.
If an athlete lets go of the pole when he was 13.4 feet above the ground with a velocity 17.7 ft / s at an
angle of 55 degrees.
Enter the Vertical initial velocity component, add the units in the result..
