react to form water, carbon dioxide, and sodium acetate, which is released from the rocket as it shoots up into the air. The box for the rocket indicates that the toy rocket will fly to a maximum height of 60 m and the mass of the empty toy rocket is 0.450 kg.
a)Before the toy rocket is launched, where is the energy needed to power the rocket? What type of energy is this?
b)After the rocket is launched, what type of energy is associated the movement of the rocket upward? Where did this energy come from?
c)When the toy rocket reached its maximum height in the second before the rocket begins to fall back to Earth the Kinetic energy associated with the rocket is)J. According to the law of conservation of energy, the first law of thermodynamics, energy is neither created nor destroyed. In terms of kinetic energy and potential energy, explain how this law is obeyed as the toy rocket rises to its maximum height.
d) Assuming that the rocket reaches its maximum height of 60 m at that point all of the baking soda and vinegar has been released from the rocket as water, carbon dioxide and sodium acetate such that the rocket has a mass of 0.450 kg, what is the maximum gravitational potential energy in joules of the rocket? The gravitational constant on Earth is 9.8 m/s2.
