Q 43) A rocket in outer space has a payload of 5190.0 kg and 1.551 X105 kg of fuel. The rocket can expel propellant at a speed of 5.600 km/s. Assume that the rocket starts from rest, accelerates to its final velocity, and then begins its trip. How
long will it take the rocket to travel a distance of 3.82 X 105 km (approximately the distance between Earth and Moon)?
Given :
The mass of the payload is m, = 5190.0 kg / fuel mass is m = 1.551X 105 kg
The fuel exhaust speed is V. = 5.600 km/s. / AX = 3.82x10km
How long the rocket it will take to reach the final distance ve "At" = ???
