Physics

A rocket ship, with mass m=20,000kg, and engines mountedperpendicularly in the x and y directions, fires both rocketssimultaneously. The engine oriented in the x-direction fires for 3sand shuts off. The engine oriented in the y-direction fires for 7sand shuts off. The force from the engine in the x-direction is50,000N and the force from the engine in the y-direction is100,000N. Make a scatter plot of the y-position of each particle asa function of the x-position, showing the trajectory of the rocket.Use Excel to determine the following: i) While the engines arefiring, what is the acceleration of the rocket in the x and ydirections? ii) After 7s, what is the velocity of the rocket in thex and y directions? iii) After 7s, what is the speed of the rocket?iv) After 7s, how far has the rocket travelled in the x-direction?How far has it travelled in the y-direction?, After 10 s? v) After7s, what is the displacement of the rocket? After 10 s? Is thedisplacement of the rocket the same as the distance travelled?Explain. vi) If the mass of the rocket is doubled, what happens tothe displacement?

Do you mean find the final velocity Ill assume this is what you mean Was the initial velocity zero Ill assume it was You cant talk about acceleration during the initial velocity it doesnt make sense F ma so a Fm In xdirection ax 5000040000 125ms2 Where do you get 25 from In See Answer
