As a spacecraft approaches a planet, the rocket engines on it are fired (turned on) to slow it down so it will go into orbit around the planet. The spacecraft's mass is 2,275 kg and the thrust (force) of the rocket engines is 465 N. If its speed must be decreased by 1,259 m/s, how long (in minutes) must the engines be fired? (Ignore the change in the mass as the fuel is burned.)
Homework Answers
Approach used:- we use Newton's law to find the acceleration of the rocket and then use kinematics equation to find the time,

80.A spacecraft is approaching Mars after a long trip from the Earth. Its velocity is such that it is traveling along a parabolic trajectory under the influence of the gravitational force from Mars. The distance of closest approach will be 300 km above the Martian surface. At this point of closest approach, the engines will be fired to slow down the spacecraft and place it in a circular orbit 300 km above the surface. (a) By what percentage must the...

1.5: The Falcon 9 rocket version 1.2 that Elon Musk calls the "Full Thrust" version has a total initial takeoff thrust of 7607 kN (kilo-Newtons, each of which is 1000 N) from its first-stage rocket engines at sea eve. The vehicle has a mass of 549.054 metric tons on takeoff (a metric ton is 1000 kg or 2200 lb, which turns out to be pretty close to an Imperial ton, which is 2000 Ib). What is the rocket's acceleration as...

Model rockets are fun. These tiny engines (about the size of your little finger) that fire for around 2 seconds and have a surprising thrust! Your rocket has a mass of 0.5 kg and you want to know its maximum speed! You place the rocket, count down, light the fuse, and away it goes! Using a nifty radar gun, you measure the velocity of the rocket to be 47 m/s the moment the engine runs out of fuel. Calculate the...
The semimajor axis of Mars orbit is about 1.52 astronomical units (au), where an au is the Earth's average distance from the Sun, meaning the semimajor axis of Earth's orbit is 1 au. To go from Earth to Mars and use the least energy from rocket fuel, th
The semimajor axis of Mars orbit is about 1.52 astronomical units (au), where an au is the Earth's average distance from the Sun, meaning the semimajor axis of Earth's orbit is 1 au. To go from Earth to Mars and use the least energy from rocket fuel, the orbit has a semimajor axis of 1.26 au and an eccentricity of about 0.21. Starting at Earth's orbit, to follow this path we give the spacecraft an orbital velocity of 40 km/s. ...

1. A rocket is launched vertically from the Earth, and the thrust (pushing force) from the engines is directed upward, and has a magnitude of 5.00 x 106 N. The mass of the rocket is initially 2.00 x 105 kg. (a) What is the initial acceleration of the rocket, assuming you can neglect air resistance? (b) After the rocket has been in flight for a while, burning and exhausting a lot of fuel, its mass has decreased to 1.20 x 105 kg, and...

10. Write a one-page summary of the attached paper? INTRODUCTION Many problems can develop in activated sludge operation that adversely affect effluent quality with origins in the engineering, hydraulic and microbiological components of the process. The real "heart" of the activated sludge system is the development and maintenance of a mixed microbial culture (activated sludge) that treats wastewater and which can be managed. One definition of a wastewater treatment plant operator is a "bug farmer", one who controls the aeration...
