A 500kgrocket sled can be accelerated at a constant rate from rest to 1600km/hin1.8s. What is the magnitude of the required net force?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The magnitude of the required force is1.23×105N .

Step by step solution

01

The given data

  • Mass of the rocket,m=500kg.
  • Initial velocity of the rocket,vi=0m/s
  • Final velocity of the rocket,vf=1600km/hror444.44m/s.
  • Rate of constant acceleration, t=1.8s.
02

Understanding the concept of kinematics

As we are given the change in velocity in the given period, we can find the acceleration of the rocket.

We already have the mass of the rocket, using Newton’s 2nd law we can find the net force acting on it.

Formula:

Force according to Newton’s second law, F=ma (i)

Acceleration of a body in motion, a=∆V∆t (ii)

03

Calculation of magnitude of the force

Using equation (i), we get the magnitude of the force on the rocket as:

F=500kg×444.44m/s1.8s(∵fromequation(ii),a=vf-vit)=1.23×105N

Hence, the value of force is1.23×105N.

Imagine a landing craft approaching the surface of Callisto, one of Jupiter’s moons. If the engine provides an upward force (thrust) of 3260N, the craft descends at constant speed; if the engine provides only 2200 N, the craft accelerates downward at0.39m/s2. (a) What is the weight of the landing craft in the vicinity of Callisto’s surface? (b) What is the mass of the craft? (c) What is the magnitude of the free-fall acceleration near the surface of Callisto?

An 85 kgman lowers himself to the ground from a height of 10.0 mby holding onto a rope that runs over a frictionless pulley to a 65 kgsandbag. With what speed does the man hit the ground if he started from rest?

A worker drags a crate across a factory floor by pulling on a rope tied to the crate. The worker exerts a force of magnitude f = 450Non the rope, which is inclined at an upward angleθ=38° to the horizontal, and the floor exerts a horizontal force of magnitude f = 125 Nthat opposes the motion. Calculate the magnitude of the acceleration of the crate if (a) its mass is 310kg and (b) its weight is 310 N.
