[填空题]
1.
(1) A spacecraft is moving in a zero gravity zone in space with constant speed. Its pilot decided to accelerate by burning fuel. The burned fuel is ejected backwards from the rocket with a constant speed of $2.5\times10^2\,ms^{−1}$ relative to the rocket at a constant rate of $2.0\times10^{2}\,kgs^{−1}$.
Calculate the net force on the rocket due to the ejection of burnt fuel is $F$ = $\times 10^4\,N$.
(2) The spacecraft has a mass of $4.2\times10^3\,kg$ at the instant that it starts to burn the fuel. Calculate the acceleration of the spacecraft after $1.0\,s$ has passed. $a$ = $ms^{-2}$
2.The spacecraft enters the atmosphere of Mars and slows down due to friction. To decelerate its speed more to reach a safe landing speed, the operator runs the propeller that pushes against the gas in the atmosphere.
(1) By referring to Newton's Third Law, outline why there is a force acting on the spacecraft due to the propeller.
(2)The average density of the Mars atmosphere is $0.020\,kgm^{−3}$. The radius of the propeller blades is $1.2\,m$. At a given instant, the average force slowing force from the propeller to is $140\,kN$. Assuming that the propellor causes all gas that it passes through to come to rest relative to the falling spaceship, estimate the speed of the spaceship at this instant. $v$ = $ms^{-1}$
(3).The landing legs of the spacecraft have springs that can compress as the spacecraft makes contact with the ground. Explain how this decreases the average force acting on the spacecraft as it lands.
