A Newton is the SI measure of force. It is defined as the force required to move 1 kg at a rate of 1 m/s2(so 1N=1kg.m/s2). The core stage of NASAs Artemis 1 rocket uses 4 RS-25D engines, each of which produces 10x103 kN of thrust (=force). Artemis 1 has a mass of 5.75 million pounds, and is 322 ft tall. Artemis 1 reaches earth orbit after 8 minutes and 30 seconds at which time it ejects its core engines:

a. What velocity, in m/s, is Artemis 1 traveling when it reaches orbit? (ignore earths gravity since its effect is negligible)

b. Assume that no further force is applied after ejection of the core engines and that Artemis 1s velocity therefore remains constant. The circumference of the earth at orbit altitude is 25,000 miles. How long will Artemis 1 take to orbit the earth?

 
 

Step by Step Solution

There are 3 Steps involved in it

Step: 1

a To calculate the velocity of Artemis 1 when it reaches orbit we need to determine the initial velocity and the time it takes to reach orbit Given Ma... blur-text-image
