11. The Basics: Newton’s Laws  Newton’s First Law Every object persists in its state of rest or uniform motion ins a straight line unless it is compelled to change that state by forces impressed on it.  Newton’s Second Law Force is equal to the change in momentum per change in time. For a constant mass, force equals mass times acceleration.  Newton’s Third Law For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. -NASA Glenn Research Center: Newton’s Laws of Motion http://www.grc.nasa.gov/WWW/k-12/airplane/newton.html

12. Thrust Equation  Start with Newton’s 2 nd Law  Do not assume constant mass  Basic thrust equation  Not so basic thrust equation

13. Calculating the variables

14. What’s left?

15. Combustion  Definition? Type of chemical reaction where a fuel and an oxidizer react to produce energy and new products  What happens? Ignition Break bonds New bonds Energy released ○ Heat, light, sound

16. Space Shuttle Main Engine

17. LM A2100 Satellite

18. Hypergolics  Huper – Greek for above  Ergon – Greek for work  Oleum – Latin for oil  Fuel and ox that ignite on contact  No ignition (work) required
