 Example

• Aspacecraft has a mass m 200 kg and is

initially at rest. The engine is turned on at t =
0, and from this time forward there is a
constant force F = 2000 N on the spacecraft
(neglect weight).
(a) What is the velocity of the spacecraft at t
40 s?
(b) How far does the spacecraft travel during
this time?
(c) What is the velocity of the spacecraft when
it reaches a distance 1000 m from where it
started? 27
 Solution

•  (a) 𝐹 =𝑚 𝑎
2000
𝑎=10 𝑚 /𝑠 2

29
 Solution

•  (c)

𝑣 2=𝑣 2𝑜+ 2𝑎 ( 𝑥 𝑓 − 𝑥𝑜 ) =0+ 2(10)(1000)

𝑣 =20000

𝑣=141.4 𝑚/ 𝑠

 Example

A
•  rocket of mass 2×10 4
𝑘𝑔 is blasted vertically upwards
with an initial acceleration of 5.0 𝑚/𝑠2. Calculate the
thrust (pushing force) of the rocket at lift-off.
(Air resistance is neglected and consider the weight.)
