- A model rocket engine has an average thrust of 5.26 N. It has an initial mass of 25.5 g, which includes fuel mass of 12.7 g. The duration of its burn is 1.90 s. (a) What is the average exhaust speed of the engine? (b) This engine is placed in a rocket body of mass 53.5 g. What is the final velocity of the rocket if it were to be fired from rest in outer space by an astronaut on a spacewalk? Assume the fuel burns at a constant rate.arrow_forwardDizzy is speeding along at 31.1 m/s as she approaches the level section of track near the loading dock of the Whizzer roller coaster ride.

- During a violent thunderstorm, hail of diameter 0.59 cm falls directly downward at a speed of 30 m/s. There are estimated to be 130 hailstones per cubic meter of air. (a) What is the mass (in g) of each hailstone (density = 0.92 g/cm3)? (b) Assuming that the hail does not bounce, find the magnitude of the average force on a flat roof measuring 12 m x 19 m due to the impact of the hail. (Hint: During impact, the force on a hailstone from the roof is approximately equal to the net force on the hailstone, because the gravitational force on it is small.)arrow_forwardAn 80-Mg railroad engine A coasting at 6.5 km/h strikes a 20-Mg flatcar C carrying a 30-Mg load B that can slide along the floor of the car (μk= 0.25).
