At time t = 0 a 2230-kg rocket in outer space fires an engine that exerts an increasing force on it in the +x-direction. This force obeys the equation Fx =At2 , where t is time, and has a magnitude of 781.25 N when t = 1.49s. What impulse (in kg m/s) does the engine exert on the rocket during the 1.50-s interval starting 2.00 s after the engine is fired?

Answer:

[tex]I=4090.8Ns[/tex]

Explanation:

Since our equation is [tex]F=At^2[/tex] and F=781.25 N when t=1.49s, we have:

[tex]A=\frac{F}{t^2}=\frac{781.25N}{(1.49s)^2}=351.9N/s^2[/tex]

The impulse of a force is [tex]I=\int\limits {F} \, dt[/tex], so for our case we have:

[tex]I=\int\limits^{t_f}_{t_i} {At^2} \, dt=A (\frac{t_f^3}{3}-\frac{t_i^3}{3})[/tex]

For our case [tex]t_i=2s[/tex] and [tex]t_f=2s+1.5s=3.5s[/tex], so we have:

[tex] I = (351.9N/s^2) (\frac{(3.5s)^3}{3}-\frac{(2s)^3}{3})=4090.8Kgm/s[/tex]
