A 2.60×104-kgkg rocket blasts off vertically from the earth's surface with a constant acceleration. During the motion considered in the problem, assume that gg remains constant. Inside the rocket, a 17.7-NN instrument hangs from a wire that can support a maximum tension of 37.6 NN .

A)Find the minimum time for this rocket to reach the sound barrier (330m/s) without breaking the inside wire.

B)Find the maximum vertical thrust of the rocket engines under these conditions.

c)How far is the rocket above the earth's surface when it breaks the sound barrier?

A model rocket blasts off from the ground, rising straight upward with a constant acceleration that has a magnitude of 91.3 m/s2 for 1.79 seconds, at which point its fuel abruptly runs out. Air resistance has no effect on its flight. What maximum altitude (above the ground) will the rocket reach?

Some time, delta T, after a rocket blasts off from the surface of earth, it is travelling at a constant speed, and its instantaneous mass(including fuel) is M+20,000kg. The gas ejected out the back of the rocket is moving at a relative velocity of 1,200 m/s (downward), with respect to the rocket. You may assume that the rocket is still very close to the surface of the earth, and that air resistance is negligible. A) What is the rate of...

A rocket takes off vertically from the launchpad with no initial velocity but a constant upward acceleration of 2.5 m/s^2. At 10 s after takeoff, the engines fail completely so the only force on the rocket from then on is the pull of gravity. A) What is the maximum height the rocket will reach above the launchpad? B) How long after engine failure does it take for the rocket to crash back down?

A model rocket is fired vertically upward from rest. Its acceleration for the first three seconds is given by a(t) = 60t ft/s2 , at which time the fuel is exhausted and it becomes a freely “falling” body and falls to the ground. (a) Determine the position function s(t) for all times t > 0. (b) What is the maximum height achieved by the rocket? ( c) At what value of t does the rocket land?
