A 440 g model rocket is on a cart that is rolling to the right at a speed of 4.0 m/s. The rocket engine, when it is fired, exerts a 8.0 AND vertical thrust on the rocket. Your goal is to have the rocket pass through a small horizontal hoop that is 20 m above the launch point. At what horizontal distance left of the loop should you launch?

Answer:

x = 8.74m

Explanation:

Hello! Let's solve this!

Given a mass m = 0.44kg

v = 4m / s

F = 8N

y = 20m

Force on the rocket

F '= F * - (mg) = m * a

We cleared to

a = (F * (- mg)) / m = (F / m) * (- g)

The rocket will accelerate upwards at a time t given by x = v * t

We cleared t

t = x / v

From kinematics we have to

y = (1/2) * a * t2

We replace a and t

y = (1/2) * (F / m) * (- g) * (x / v) 2

We clear x that is the incognita.

[tex]x=\sqrt{(2*y*v^{2} )/(F/m)-g}[/tex]

[tex]x=\sqrt{(2*20m*(4)^{2} )/((8N/0.44kg)-9.8m/s^{2} )}[/tex]

x = 8.74m

The horizontal distance to launch the rocket from is 8.74 meters.

Given the following data:

  • Mass = 440 g to kg = 0.44kg.
  • Velocity  = 4 m/s
  • Force = 8 Newton.
  • Horizontal displacement  = 20m.

Scientific data:

  • Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 [tex]m/s^2[/tex].

How to calculate the horizontal distance.

From Newton's Second Law of Motion, the net force exerted on the rocket is given by:

[tex]F_n=F-mg=ma\\\\a=\frac{F-mg}{m} \\\\a=\frac{-Fg}{m}[/tex]

From the second equation of motion (kinematics), the horizontal distance to launch the rocket from is given by this formula:

[tex]y = ut+\frac{1}{2} at^2 \\\\y = 0(t)+\frac{1}{2} (\frac{-Fg}{m} )t^2\\\\y = \frac{1}{2} (\frac{-Fg}{m} )(\frac{x}{v} )^2\\\\x=\sqrt{\frac{2yv^2}{\frac{-Fg}{m}} } \\\\x=\sqrt{\frac{2myv^2}{-Fg} } \\\\x=\sqrt{\frac{2 \times 0.44 \times 20 \times 4^2}{-8 \times 9.8} }[/tex]

x = 8.74 meters.
