3 A rocket of mass 1200 kg is travelling at 2000 m/s. It fires its engine for 1 minute. The forward thrust provided by the rocket engines is 10 kN (10 000 N).
(i) Use increase in momentum = F x t to calculate the increase in momentum of the rocket.
(ii) Use your answer to a to calculate the increase in velocity of the rocket and its new velocity after firing the engines.​

Respuesta :

The impulse shared by the object equals the difference in momentum of the object. In equation form,

F • t = m • Δ v. In a collision, objects experience an impulse; the impulse causes and is equal to the difference in momentum.

How to calculate  thrust provided by the rocket engines is 10 kN (10 000 N).?

a)There is this impulse-momentum change equation.

[tex]where m$ is the mass of a body, $F$ is a force acting to the body, $t$ is time and $D E L A T A N\}=V_{2}-V_{1}$ is the change of velocity.We consider everything is happen along a straight line, and gravitation does not participate.So, the increase of momentum is $\mathrm{F}^{*} \mathrm{t}=10000 \mathrm{~N} * 60$ seconds $=600000 \mathrm{~N}^{*} \mathrm{~s}=600000\left(\mathrm{~kg}^{*} \mathrm{~m}\right)^{*} \mathrm{~s} / \mathrm{s}^{\wedge} 2=600000 \mathrm{~kg}{ }^{*} \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}$.[/tex]

We consider everything exits happen along a straight line, and gravitation does not participate.

So, the increase of momentum is F×t = 10000 N × 60 seconds = 600000 N*s = 600000 (kg*m)*s/s^2 = 600000 kg*m/s.

[tex]$\Delta(\mathrm{V})=\frac{\mathrm{F.t}}{\mathrm{m}}=\frac{600000}{1200}=500 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s} .$[/tex]

New velocity after  engine was firing during 60 seconds is 2000 + 500 = 2500 m/s.
