Problem 59PE
Given the following data for a fire extinguisher-toy wagon rocket experiment, calculate the average exhaust velocity of the gases expelled from the extinguisher. Starting from rest, the final velocity is 10.0 m/s. The total mass is initially 75.0 kg and is 70.0 kg after the extinguisher is fired.
ANSWER:
Solution 59PE
Step 1 of 3
For the given data of a fire extinguisher toy wagon rocket experiment, we need to calculate the average exhaust velocity of the gases which are expelled from the extinguisher. Which starts from rest with mass
and reaches a final velocity
with mass
after the firing of extinguisher.
Given data,
Rest mass of rocket,
Final velocity of rocket,
Final mass of rocket after firing,
To find,
Average exhaust velocity,
