Question

A rocket consumes 20 kg fuel per second. The exhaust gases escape at a speed of 1000 ms–1 relative to the rocket. Calculate the upthrust received by the rocket. Also calculate the velocity acquired. When its mass is 1/100 of the initial mass.

Moderate
Solution

F = \frac{{m\,{v_r}}}{t} = 20 \times 1000 = 2 \times {10^4}N
V = {u_0} + {v_r}\,\,\log \,\,\frac{{{m_0}}}{m}
V = 0 + {10^3} \times 2.303\,\,\,\log \,\,\left( {\frac{{{m_0}}}{{{m_0}/100}}} \right)
= {10^3} \times 2.303\,\,\log (100)
= {10^3} \times 2.303\,\,\,\,\,\log ({10^2})
= {10^3} \times 2.303\,(2) = {10^3} \times 4.606\,
V = 4.6 km / s
