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...
Im
having trouble with this problem. Can someone break it down for me
please?
Model rockets have tiny engines that fire for around 2 seconds. Your rocket has a mass of 0.5 kg and you want to know its maximum speed. Using a radar gun you measure the velocity of the rocket to be 47 m/s the moment the engine runs out of fuel. Calculate the force this engine exerts on your rocket. Hint: There are two forces in play...
