A Saturn 5 third stage rocket boosts Apollo 17 (46,768 kg, 103,106 lbs) from orbital speed (7,822 m/s, 17,500 mph) to escape speed (11,174 m/s, 25,000 mph) to reach the moon. Determine the exhaust gas velocity needed for this "deltavee". Third stage booster mass by itself is 104,328 kg before and 11,249 kg after the rocket “burn”.

Expert Solution

Law of conservation of energy is used to approach the following problem i.e

Energy of system before fuel burning = Energy of system after fuel is burnt.

The Saturn V rocket used to launch Apollo 11 to the moon has a mass of 2.8x106kg. The first stage contains 2.17x106 kg of fuel. Assume that a uniform burn rate (fuel is ejected at constant for 168 seconds until all is gone) produces a constant 3.4x107 N of thrust for 168 seconds. A.Draw a free body force diagram of the rocket while it is moving. B.What is the mass flow rate of the ejected fuel in kg/s? C.What is...

A 790-kg two-stage rocket is traveling at a speed of 6.60×103 m/s away from Earth when a predesigned explosion separates the rocket into two sections of equal mass that then move with a speed of 2.80×103 m/s relative to each other along the original line of motion What is the speed of each section (relative to Earth) after the explosion? Express your answers using three significant figures separated by a comma. V1,V2= What are the direction of each section (relative...

A 720-kg two-stage rocket is traveling at a speed of 6.90×10^3 m/s away from Earth when a predesigned explosion separates the rocket into two sections of equal mass that then move with a speed of 2.10×10^3 m/s relative to each other along the original line of motion.What is the speed of each section (relative to Earth) after the explosion? R/= v1=5850, v2=7950. How much energy was supplied by the explosion? [Hint: What is the change in kinetic energy as a...

In the first stage of a two-stage rocket, the rocket is fired from the launch pad starting from rest but with a constant acceleration of 3.50 m/s2 upward. At 25.0 s after launch, the second stage fires for 10.0 s, which boosts the rocket’s velocity to 132.5 m/s upward at 35.0 s after launch. This firing uses up all the fuel, however, so after the second stage has finished firing, the only force acting on the rocket is gravity. Air...

A two-stage rocket has a total initial mass with the fuel of 4.5x106 kg is docked at rest at a space station. A total of 2.3x106 kg of fuel is on board. The mission for the ship is to reach a planet that is located at a distance of 7.5x1010m away. The fuel is used at a constant rate of 800kg/s for both stages of the rocket. The exhaust velocity for the rocket's engines is 7500m/s (stage1) and 5000m/s (stage2)....

A one-stage rocket takes off from Space and is tasked with entering into a geosynchronous (the period of orbit is one day) low earth orbit at an altitude of 2,000km above the surface of the Earth. The mass of the rocket is 550,000kg, a) At what final speed does the rocket need to be moving to achieve the specified orbit? b) If the exhaust velocity of the fuel is 2.20x103m/s what percentage of the rocket’s mass must be fuel? c)...

A 200 kg sled that is 40m long is sliding eastward at a speed of 5 m/s relative to the icy ground below. A 60 kg human is standing at the eastern edge of the sled and suddenly begins running westward at a constant speed of 10 m/s relative to the center of mass of the system that consists of the sled and the human. 1) Explain why the sled speed increase after the human starts to run. 2) Determine...
