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.
