Laws Of Motion Question 298

Question: A 5000 kg rocket is set for vertical firing. The exhaust speed is800ms1 . To give an initial upward acceleration of20ms2 , the amount of gas ejected per second to supply the needed thrust will be (g=10ms2)

Options:

A) 127.5kgs1

B) 187.5kgs1

C) 185.5kgs1

D) 137.5kgs1

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: B

Solution:

[b] Given: Mass of rocket (m)=5000kg

Exhaust speed (v)=800m/s Acceleration of rocket (a)=20m/s2

Gravitational acceleration(g)=10m/s2

We know that upward force F=m(g+a)=5000(10+20)=5000×30

=150000 N

We also know that amount of gas ejected (dmdt)=Fv=150000800=187.5kg/s1
