A rocket of total mass 1000kg initially ...

A rocket of total mass 1000kg initially is launched from ground. The gases are ejected at the rate 20kg/s with velocity 1000 m/s relative to rocket vertically downwards. The initial acceleration of the rocket is a (in `m//s^(2)`). Find`a/g`. (Take `g=10 m//s^(2)`)

AI Generated Solution

To solve the problem, we need to determine the initial acceleration of the rocket and then calculate the ratio of this acceleration to the acceleration due to gravity (g). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Given Values:** - Total mass of the rocket, \( m = 1000 \, \text{kg} \) - Rate of gas ejection, \( \frac{dm}{dt} = 20 \, \text{kg/s} \) - Velocity of gases relative to the rocket, \( v_r = 1000 \, \text{m/s} \) (downwards) ...
