Compute the average exhaust speed of the engine

Reference no: EM13513532

Model rocket engines are sized by thrust, thrust duration, and total impulse, among other characteristics. A size C5 model rocket engine has an average thrust of 5.26 N, a fuel mass of 12.7 g, and an initial mass of 25.5 g. The duration of its burn is 1.90 s.

(a) What is the average exhaust speed of the engine?

m/s

(b) If this engine is placed in a rocket body of mass 46.0 g, and if the rocket is fired in outer space, what is the final velocity of the rocket? Assume the fuel burns at a constant rate.

m/s
