Question: A 0 . 6 - k g model rocket is loaded with 0 . 7 kg of rocket fuel. After launch, the rocket rises at

A 0.6-kg model rocket is loaded with 0.7 kg of rocket fuel. After launch, the rocket rises at a constant rate of 4ms, but the rocket fuel is dissipated at a rate of 0.15kgs. Find the work done in propelling the rocket 20 m above the ground. (Use 9.8ms2 for g .)
Find the work (in J) needed to lift the model rocket itself. (Ignore the work needed to lift the fuel.)
J
Show how to approximate the required work (in J) to lift the rocket fuel by a Riemann sum. (Let x be the distance in meters above the ground. Enter xi** as xi.)
limni=1n(1,x)x
Express the work (in J) required to lift the rocket fuel as an integral of x(in m ).
dx
Evaluate the integral (in J).
Find the total work (in J) by adding the work of lifting the model rocket to the work of lifting the rocket fuel.
A 0 . 6 - k g model rocket is loaded with 0 . 7
