Suppose a space probe of mass m1 = 4150 kg expels m2 = 3500 kg of its mass at a constant rate with an exhaust speed of vex = 1.9 × 103 m/s.
What is the increase in speed, of the space probe, in terms of the variables given in the introduction? You may assume the gravitational force is negligible at the probe’s location.
Part (b) Calculate the increase in speed, in meters per second, of the space probe.

To slow down the spacecraft, a solid fuel rocket is fired, and the combustion gases leave the rocket at a constant rate of 150 lbm/s at a velocity of 5000 ft/s in the same direction as the spacecraft for a period of 5 s. Assuming the mass of the spacecraft remains constant, determine (a) the deceleration of the spacecraft during this 5-s period, (b) the change of velocity of the spacecraft during this time period, and (c) the thrust exerted on the spacecraft.arrow_forward
