.P20 Suppose that you are navigating a spacecraft far from other objects. The mass of the spacecraft is 1.5 x 10 kg (about 150 tons). The rocket engines are shut off, and you're coasting along with a constant velocity of (0,20,0) km/s. As you pass the location (12,15,0) km you briefly fire side-thruster rockets, so that your spacecraft experiences a net force of (6 x 10,0,0) N for 20 s. After turning off the thrusters, you then continue coasting with...
A Saturn-V Rocket has a total mass of 3.00 times 10^6 kg when fully fueled. The first stage of rocket propulsion burns 2.27 times 10^6 kg of fuel in 150 s, providing a thrust of 3.402 times 10^7 N, as the rocket is lifted against Earth's gravity. a) Find the rate at which fuel is burned during this first-stage propulsion, assuming a steady rate of fuel consumption. b) Find the exhaust speed of the fuel as it is ejected from...
5. Rocket guidance A space probe with mass 5180 kg is traveling beyond Saturn with a velocity of 115 m/s. When it is time to alter its course by 30.0°, the probe's thruster jets are fired briefly in a direction perpendicular to its original motion. If the thruster gases are expelled at a speed of 1750 m/s, how much mass must be expelled during the course correction?
Suppose you are navigating a spacecraft far from other objects. The mass of the spacecraft is 2.3 x 104 kg (about 23 tons). The rocket engines are shut off, and you're coasting along with a constant velocity of <0, 28, 0> km/s. As you pass the location <2, 4,0 km you briefly fire side thruster rockets, so that your spacecraft experiences a net force of <2 x 105, 0, 0> N for 23.5 s. The ejected gases have a mass...
