NASAs Saturn V rockets that launched astronauts to the moon were powered by the strongest rocket engine ever developed, providing 6.77 106 N of thrust while burning fuel at a rate of 2.63 103 kg/s. Calculate the engines exhaust speed.
Problem 4 134. Astronomy About 65 million years ago an aster- oid struck Earth in the area of the Yucatan Peninsula and wiped out the dinosaurs and many other life forms. Judging from the size of the crater and the effects on Earth, the asteroid was about 10 km in diameter (assumed spherical) and probably had a density of 2.0 g/cm³ (typi- cal of asteroids). Its speed was at least 11 km/s. (a) What is the maximum amount of ocean water (originally at 20 °C) that it could have evaporated? Express your answer in kilograms and treat the ocean as though it were fresh- water. (b) If the water were formed into a cube, how high would it be? (See Tables 14-3 and 14-4 as needed.)
You are designing a single-stage rocket to launch a 300-kg satellite. Assume the rocket engine's I, as 460 sec. Use g=9.8 m/sec² for the gravity acceleration constant. sp (a) Assume that you are launching the satellite in free space with no gravity and no aerodynamic drag, and your rocket has zero mass except the pronellants and the satellite. Calculate the mass of the propellants to give AV = 7.784 km/sec. (b) Assume the same in (a) except that the rocket's mass is proportional to the propellants: 15% of the propellants. Calculate the mass of the propellants for AV=7.784 km/sec. (Of course, the rocket's mass remains the same after the burn)

A team of astronauts is on a mission to land on and explore a large asteroid. In addition to collecting samples and performing experiments, one of their tasks is to demonstrate the concept of the escape speed by throwing rocks straight up at various initial speeds. With what minimum initial speed vesc will the rocks need to be thrown in order for them never to "fall" back to the asteroid? Assume that the asteroid is approximately spherical, with an average density ? = 2.67 × 106 g/m3 and volume V =1.71 × 1012 m3. Recall that the universal gravitational constant is G = 6.67 × 10-11 (Nm2)/(kg2).

Ariane 5 is a European Space Agency rocket designed to launch geostationary satellites into orbit and to send payloads to low orbit. Ariane 5 launches from the Kourou space center in French Guiana. To overcome the Earth's gravitational attraction, very powerful engines are required to ensure takeoff. The two side tanks are propellants that work with solid fuel, during takeoff they exert 6975 kN each on the Earth. The central tank, which is the engine of the "cryogenic" main stage, exerts 1074 kN on the Earth. If the mass of Ariane 5 at takeoff is 745 tons, what is the magnitude of the vertical acceleration of Ariane 5, in ?/?^2. Consider ?=9.8 ?/?^2 Select one: 11.25 20.17 10.37 20.60
