A small rocket burns a mass 0.0460 kg of fuel per second, ejecting it as a gas with a velocity relative to the rocket of magnitude 1650 m/s .
Added by Richard C.
Step 1
0460 kg/s - Velocity of exhaust relative to the rocket = 1650 m/s Calculation: \[ \text{Thrust} = 0.0460 \, \text{kg/s} \times 1650 \, \text{m/s} = 75.9 \, \text{N} \] Show more…
