The upward velocity of a rocket can be computed by the following formula : v = v
Question:
The upward velocity of a rocket can be computed by the following formula:
v = v in m0/m0 – qt – gt
Where υ = upward velocity, u = the velocity at which fuel is expelled relative to the rocket, m0 = the initial mass of the rocket at time t = 0, q = the fuel consumption rate, and g = the downward acceleration of gravity (assumed constant = 9.81 m/s2). If u = 2000 m/s, m0 = 150,000 kg, and q = 2700 kg/s, compute the time at which = 750 m/s. Determine your result so that it is within 1% of the true value. Check your answer.

In Physics, a force is an influence that can change the motion of an object. A force can cause an object with mass to change its velocity, i.e., to accelerate. Force can also be described intuitively as a push or a pull. A force has both magnitude and direction, making it a vector quantity. In this video, the concept of force and torque is demonstrated with the practical application of changing the flat tire of the car.
