Paul Stender’s car has a rocket attached to it. While on, therocket provides a thrust force of 51,500 Newtons. The car has asmass of 3,222kg. The coefficients of friction with the road and thetires are μk=.321, μs=.432, μr=.111, and the coefficient of drag is0.800. The car is 3.0 meters long, 2.0 meters wide and 1.5 meterstall. The density of air is Ï=1.3kg/m3. Remember that the equationfor the force of drag is: D = ½ÏACdv2.IN VPYTHON:
Create a program that keeps track of for every tenth of a secondfor the first 5 seconds…:
- …the amount of chemical energy burnt by the rocket
- …the amount of energy that is turned into thermal energythrough wind drag
- …the amount of energy that is turned into thermal energythrough rolling friction
- …The amount of energy that ends up as Kinetic Energy
You may assume a 100% efficient chemical process in the rocket.You may also assume that the mass change of the rocket isnegligible.
Hi,
I can do the coding, but I'm at a loss for the physics behindthe question. I don't know what qualifies as the total energy, orhow to find it in this situation.
Thank you.
