A rocket, with a mass of 5100 kg, has an engine that provides a net upward force of 8.0 x 10^5 N. It starts from rest and reaches a maximum speed of 900 m/s. How long does it take to reach that maximum velocity?

Answer:

5.7375 seconds

Explanation:

The computation of the time required to reach that maximum velocity is shown below:

Given that

Mass = m =  5100 kg

Net upward force F = 8 × times 10^5 N

Initial speed = V_i = 0

Maximum speed = V = 900 m.s

Based on the above information

Impluse J = m(V - V_i)

= 5100 (900 - 0)

= 459 × 10^4 kg m.s

As we know that

J = FT

So

T = J ÷ F

= (459 × 10^4) ÷ (8 × 10^5)

= 5.7375 seconds
