Force, time, mass, and velocity Impulse = F t = m v F = Force (N) t = Elapsed time (s) m = Mass (kg) v = Change in velocity (m/s) Example: A pitcher pitches a 0. 145 kg baseball at 40. m/s, and the batter hits it directly back at 50. m/s to the outfield.

A baseball bat exerts a force of 1127 N on a 0. 146 kg ball for 0. 0110 s What is the ball’s change in velocity? If it was pitched toward the batter at 38. 0 m/s, with what velocity does it travel to the outfield? solution 84. 9 m/s, 46. 9 m/s toward the outfield.

One last thing: Deriving Newton’s second law: m v = F t Finally: F = m v = ma = p t t

Rocket Propulsion So: • F = engine thrust • t = time to burn fuel • m = mass of fuel burned • v = exhaust gas velocity F t = m v

Ion Propulsion systems Low thrust/high Δv 20 -50 km/s exhaust velocity Dawn

where’s the power come from? Gridded Xenon ion drive (Like Dawn has)

The Dawn spacecraft has a mass of about 770 kg, and an ion drive with an exhaust velocity of 35, 000 m/s that generates about 92 millinewtons of thrust. (. 092 N) How what is the “burn” rate for this engine? Ft = mv (. 092 N)(1. 0 s) = m(35, 000 m/s) m = 2. 62857 E-06 kg/s How big a change in velocity can 50 kg of fuel give the spacecraft? The final mass will be 770 – 50 = 720 kg, on the average the spacecraft will have a mass of 745 kg So the delta v is approximately: (745 kg)(Δv) = (50 kg)(35, 000 m/s) Δv ≈ 2350 m/s
