Motion – Newton’s Laws 1 Motion – Newton’s Laws Total mass at liftoff: 2040000 Kg Total thrust: 31000000 N What is the acceleration of the vehicle at liftoff? 2 Motion – Newton’s Laws Total mass at liftoff: 2040000 Kg Total thrust: 31000000 N What is the acceleration of the vehicle at liftoff? F = ma or a = F/m a = 31000000 N / 2040000 Kg = 15.2 m/s2 3 Motion – Newton’s Laws Note: ashuttle = 15.2 m/s2 For the Bugatti Veyron (the fastest accelerating production car ever built): aVeyron = 11.1 m/s2 For a Formula 1 car: aF1 = 14.2 m/s2 4 FThrust Thrust (in N) W Weight (in N) Fnet = Fthrust - W Motion – Newton’s Laws Fnet = Fthrust – W = Fthrust – mg = 31000000 N – (2040000 Kg) ( 9.8 m/s2) = 11008000 N 6 Motion – Newton’s Laws a = Fnet / m = 11008000 N / 2040000 Kg = 5.396 m/s2 = 0.5506 g 7 Motion – Newton’s Laws Later Shuttle Launch Early Shuttle Launch 8 Motion – Newton’s Laws Later Shuttle Launch Early Shuttle Launch Not painting saved 500 kg ( 1105 lb) 9 Motion – Newton’s Laws Fnet = Fthrust – W = Fthrust – mg = 31000000 N – (2038900 Kg) ( 9.8 m/s2) = 11017800 N 10 Motion – Newton’s Laws a = Fnet / m = 11017800 N / 2038900 Kg = 5.404 m/s2 = 0.5514 g 0.14% increase without Paint a = $$$$$ 11
