2. So far we have: Impulse = F  t = m  v F = Force (N)  t = Elapsed time (s) m = Mass (kg)  v = Change in velocity (m/s) Rocket Propulsion

3. FtFt = mvmv So: F = engine thrust  t = time to burn fuel m = mass of fuel burned  v = exhaust gas velocity

4. Which Rocket Accelerates faster? A B Demo – F14

7. If we re-arrange this formula: m  v = F  t  t  t Rocket Propulsion

8. You get F = m  v  t Where: Rocket Propulsion F = Engine thrust (N) m = Fuel burn rate (kg/s)  t  v = Exhaust velocity (m/s)

15. Average F = 70 N, t = 8.0 s, Impulse = (70 N)(8.0 s) = 560 Ns What is the impulse? W 560 Ns t F 100 N 5.0 s

16. Impulse = (40 N)(3.0 s) + (70 N)(5.0 s)= 470 Ns What is the impulse? W 470 Ns t F 100 N 5.0 s

17. Impulse = (10. N)(1.73 s-0.11 s) + (28 N-10 N)(0.42 - 0.21) = 19.98 Ns (about 20 Ns) What is the impulse of the D12 engine? W 20 Ns
