In a space 5.82 x 1000000kg rocket experiences a constant force of 6.94 x 1000000000N in the direction of its movement. At time t = 0s,it flies past a planet at a velocity of 57.2m/s. How far away is the rocket from the planet when t = 25.4s?
The distance, covered by rocket in time t, is
where - the initial speed;
a - the acceleration.
From Newton's 2nd law:
where F - force, experienced by the rocket.
So,
