LOTS OF POINTSA rocket of mass 40 000 kg takes off and flies to a height of 2.5 km as its engines produce 500 000 N of thrust.
The rocket engines switch off at 2.5 km and the rocket slows down as it moves up until it stops momentarily and then falls to the ground.
i Calculate the rocket’s energy when the rocket engines were switched off.
ii Calculate the speed of the rocket when the rocket engines were switched off.

i) E = 269 [MJ]    ii)v = 116 [m/s]

Explanation:

This is a problem that encompasses the work and principle of energy conservation.

In this way, we establish the equation for the principle of conservation and energy.

i)

At that point the speed 1 is equal to zero, since the maximum height achieved was 2.5 [km]. So this calculated work corresponds to the energy of the rocket.

Er = 269*10^6[J]

ii ) With the energy calculated at the previous point, we can calculate the speed developed.

where's the following? you gotta add it to know what the choices are

explanation:

need to see circuit to get time constant
