2. A 5th Grade student made a rocket sled for a science fair. A bottle with pressurized

water and air was attached to a sled. The sled was propelled forward as water was ejected from the back. ??” = 0.2 was the coefficient of friction between the sled and the ground. What was the acceleration of the sled at the moment shown below?

3. A toy rocket has two exhausts, each angled 30° from the axis of the rocket. At a particular moment the rocket has a mass of 1.5 kg and each exhaust has a mass flow of 0.5 kg/s and a speed of 25 m/s relative to the rocket. What is the acceleration of the rocket at that moment?

4. A fire boat is floating on a still lake. The fire boat has two water cannons. One ejects water at 20 kg/s and 10 m/s at an angle 45° above horizontal. The other ejects water out of the opposite end of the boat at 16 kg/s and 10 m/s. The water cannons are fed by water that enters vertically through the bottom of the boat. At what angle, ??+, should the second cannon be aimed so that the boat will not move in the water?
