Imagine that a 16,000 kg spaceship is landing on an alien planet with a gravitational acceleration of 6.7 m/s^2. It fires its landing rockets to generate an upward acceleration of 1.3 m/s^2. If the propellant leaves the rocket engine at a speed of 36,500 m/s. At what rate must the rocket burn through its fuel? here, mass of spaceship , m = 16000 kg gravitational acceleration , g = 6.7 m/s^2 a = 1.3 m/s^2 the rate at which the rocket burn , P = F v P = (m * ( g + a)) * v P = (16000 * ( 6.7 + 1.3)) * 36500 W P = 4.67 * 10^9 W the rate at which the rocket burn is 4.67 * 10^9 W
here,
mass of spaceship , m = 16000 kg
gravitational acceleration , g = 6.7 m/s^2
a = 1.3 m/s^2
the rate at which the rocket burn , P = F v
P = (m * ( g + a)) * v
P = (16000 * ( 6.7 + 1.3)) * 36500 W
P = 4.67 * 10^9 W
the rate at which the rocket burn is 4.67 * 10^9 W
How would you convert the answer into kg/s burned?

Like for the Mars Pathfinder mission, the entry and landing on Mars use a combination of aerodynamic drag (during entry, the spacecraft is protected by a heat shield), rockets, parachutes, and inflated airbags. The last phase of the entry & landing sequence is controlled by the on-board computer system. When the altitude reaches a certain critical value, the spacecraft velocity is 40 m/s. At this altitude, the airbags are inflated and a solid rocket engine is turned on to slow...
An 84.0 kg sprinter starts a race with an acceleration of 1.44 m/s2
1. An 84.0 kg sprinter starts a race with an acceleration of 1.44 m/s2. If the sprinter accelerates at that rate for 41 m, and then maintains that velocity for the remainder of the 100 m dash, what will be his time (in s) for the race? 2. (a) If the rocket sled shown in the figure below starts with only one rocket burning, what is the magnitude of its acceleration (in m/s2)? Assume that the mass of the system is 2090...
