Problem 65E
A single-stage rocket is fired from rest from a deep-space platform, where gravity is negligible. If the rocket burns its fuel in 50.0 s and the relative speed of the exhaust gas is vex = 2100 m/s, what must the mass ratio m0/m be for a final speed v of 8.00 km/s (about equal to the orbital speed of an earth satellite)?

Problem 65E
A single-stage rocket is fired from rest from a deep-space platform, where gravity is negligible. If the rocket burns its fuel in 50.0 s and the relative speed of the exhaust gas is vex = 2100 m/s, what must the mass ratio m0/m be for a final speed v of 8.00 km/s (about equal to the orbital speed of an earth satellite)?
ANSWER:
Solution 65E
The relation between the mass ratio and the final speed (v) is given by,
…..(1) , here is the gas exhaust speed.
