6. A rocket burning its onboard fuel while moving through space has velocity −→v (t) and mass m(t) at time t. If the exhaust gases escape with velocity −→v e, relative to the rocket, then md−→v /dt = dm/dt−→v e. (a) Show using this equation that −→v (t) = −→v (0) − ln(m(0)/m(t))−→v e; (b) If the rocket accelerates in a straight line from rest to twice the speed of its exhaust gases, then what fraction of its initial mass would the rocket have to burn as fuel?

Air initially at 0.75 bar, 1000 k, and occupying a volume of 0.12 m^3 undergoes two processes. process 1-2: the air is compressed isothermally until the volume is halved. process 2-3: the air undergoes a constant pressure process until the volume is halved again. assume ideal gas behavior. a) determine the mass of the air, in kg. b) the work and the heat transfer for each of the two processes, in kj. (100 kj = 1 bar . m^3)
