To lift off from the Moon, a 9.50 105 kg rocket needs a thrust larger than the force of gravity. If the exhaust velocity is 4.25 103 m/s, at what rate does the exhaust need to be expelled to provide sufficient thrust? The acceleration due to gravity on the Moon is 1.62 m/s2.
About 70 g of blood is pumped from a person's heart into the aorta during each heartbeat. The blood starts at rest with respect to the body and has a speed of about 1.2 m/s in the aorta. If the pumping takes 0.15 s, what is the magnitude of the average force exerted by the heart on the blood?
Leah is competing in the national diving championships. She has a mass of 67 kg and leaves the springboard from a height of 2.9 meters above the water surface with a speed of 5.83 m/s in the upward direction. a) Determine Leah’s speed in m/s when she strikes the water. b) Leah’s body plunges to a depth of 2.12 meters below the water surface before coming to a stop.

A 8200 kg rocket is set for vertical firing from the ground. If the exhaust speed is 1500 m/s, how much gas must be ejected each second if the thrust (a) is to equal the magnitude of the gravitational force on the rocket and (b) is to give the rocket an initial upward acceleration of 21 m/s2?

Ariane 5 is a European Space Agency rocket designed to launch geostationary satellites into orbit and to send payloads to low orbit. Ariane 5 launches from the Kourou space center in French Guiana. To overcome the Earth's gravitational attraction, very powerful engines are required to ensure takeoff. The two side tanks are propellants that work with solid fuel, during takeoff they exert 6975 kN each on the Earth. The central tank, which is the engine of the "cryogenic" main stage, exerts 1074 kN on the Earth. If the mass of Ariane 5 at takeoff is 745 tons, what is the magnitude of the vertical acceleration of Ariane 5, in ?/?^2. Consider ?=9.8 ?/?^2 Select one: 11.25 20.17 10.37 20.60
A 6100 kg rocket is set for vertical firing from the ground. If the exhaust speed is 1200 m/s, how much gas must be ejected each second if the thrust (a) is to equal the magnitude of the gravitational force on the rocket and (b) is to give the rocket an initial upward acceleration of 21 m/s2?
A firefighter directs a horizontal stream of water toward a fire at an angle of 40° measured from the horizontal. The fire hydrant and hose deliver 93 gallons per minute (1 gal/min = 6.31 ⨯ 10−5 m3/s), and the nozzle projects the water with a speed of 8.3 m/s. How much horizontal force must the firefighter exert on the hose to keep it stationary?
A bird is flying with a speed of 18.0(m)/(s ) over water when it accidentally drops a 2.00 Kg fish. If the altitude of the bird is 5.40 m and friction is ignored, what is the speed of the fish when it hits the water.
*105. Go ssm An ancurysm is an abnormal enlargement of a blood vessel such as the aorta. Because of the aneurysm, the normal cross-sectional area Aj of the aorta increases to a value of A, = 1.7Aj. The speed of the blood (p = 1060 kg/m³) through a normal portion of the aorta is v, = 0.40 m/s. Assuming that the aorta is horizontal (the person is lying down), determine the amount by which the pressure P, in the enlarged region exceeds the pressure P, in the normal region.

A forest fire is easiest to attack when it’s just getting started. In remote locations, this often means using airplanes to rapidly deliver large quantities of water and fire suppressant to the blaze. The “Superscooper” is an amphibious aircraft that can pick up a 6000 kg load of water by skimming over the surface of a river or lake and scooping water directly into its storage tanks. As it approaches the water’s surface at a speed of 35 m/s, an empty Superscooper has a mass of 13,000 kg.a. It takes the plane 12 s to pick up a full load of water. If we ignore the force on the plane due to the thrust of its propellers, what is its speed immediately after picking up the water?b. What is the impulse delivered to the plane by the water?c. What is the average force of the water on the plane?d. The plane then flies over the fire zone at 40 m/s. It releases water by opening doors in the belly of the plane, allowing the water to fall straight down with respect…
In a research facility, a person lies on a horizontal platform which floats on a film of air. When the person's heart beats, it pushes a mass m of blood into the aorta with speed v, and the body and platform move in the opposite direction with speed V. Assume that the blood's speed is 51.0 cm/s. The mass of the person + platform is 54.0 kg. The platform moves 5.20 x 10¬³ m in 0.160 s after one heartbeat. Calculate the mass (in g) of blood that leaves the heart. Assume that the mass of blood is negligible compared with the total mass of the person, and the person + platform is initially at rest. (Also assume that the changes in velocity are instantaneous.)
