Arocket accelerates by burning its onboard fuel, so its mass decreases with time. suppose the initial mass of the rocket at liftoff (including the fuel) is m, the fuel is consumed at rate r, and the exhaust gasses are ejected with constant velocity v, (relative to the rocket) a model for the velocity of the rocket at time t is given by v(t)=-gt-v ln(m-rt/m) where g is the acceleration due to gravity and t is not to large. if g=9.8m/s^2 m=28,000 kg, r=190 kg/s, and v=3,100 m/s. find the height of the rocket one minute after lift off. (round answer to nearest whole meter)

Thank you for posting your question here at . I hope the answer will help you. Feel free to ask more questions.
 v(t)= -gt - ve(ln((m - rt)/m)) 

x(t) = ∫v(t) dt 

= ∫[-gt - ve(ln((m - rt)/m))] dt (Note ∫lnu du = ulnu - u + k) 

Let u = (m - rt)/m Thus du = -r/m dt ie dt = -m/r du 

So x(t) = -½gt² - ve*-m/r (u(lnu - 1) + c 
= mve/r [ (m - rt)/m * (ln((m - rt)/m) - 1] - ½gt² 
= ve(m - rt)/r * (ln((m - rt)/m) - 1) - ½gt² 

If g = 9.8 m/s^2, m = 30000 kg, r = 155 kg/s, and ve = 3000 m/s and t = 1 minute = 60 s 

x(60) = 3000 * (30000 - 155 * 60)/155 * (ln (30000 - 155 * 60)/155 - 1) - ½ * 9.8 * 60² 

≈ 138390 m 

= 138.39km

Definitely the indoraptor

The best answer is (a) which is universal law is in effect at all times. it is constantly at play in everything we do and governs our lives. it is also important to note that universal law applies to not only everything on earth, but everything in the universe as well, which is another reason why it is in effect at all times.
