QUESTION:

If you have not already done it, do 3.11(b) and find the speed v(t) of a rocket accelerating vertically from rest in a gravitational field g. Now integrate v(t) and show that the rocket's height as a function of t is

\(y(t)=v_{\mathrm{ex}} t-\frac{1}{2} g t^{2}-\frac{m v_{\mathrm{ex}}}{k} \ln \left(\frac{m_{\mathrm{o}}}{m}\right)\)

Using the numbers given in 3.7, estimate the space shuttle's height after two minutes.

QUESTION:

If you have not already done it, do 3.11(b) and find the speed v(t) of a rocket accelerating vertically from rest in a gravitational field g. Now integrate v(t) and show that the rocket's height as a function of t is

\(y(t)=v_{\mathrm{ex}} t-\frac{1}{2} g t^{2}-\frac{m v_{\mathrm{ex}}}{k} \ln \left(\frac{m_{\mathrm{o}}}{m}\right)\)

Using the numbers given in 3.7, estimate the space shuttle's height after two minutes.

ANSWER:

Step 1 of 7

The equation to be integrated from the ‘11’ problem is:

\(\begin{aligned} m i v & =-\dot{m} v_{\text {ex }}-m g \\ v+g & =-\frac{m}{m} v_{\text {ex }} \\ \frac{d v}{d t}+g & =-\frac{m}{m} v_{\text {ex }} \\ \int d v+g d t & =-\int \frac{m}{m} v_{\text {ex }} d t \\ v+g t & =-v_{\text {ex }} \ln \left(\frac{m}{m_{0}}\right) \end{aligned}\)
