Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A spacecraft with a mass of 15000 kg descends at 600 m/s. If it expels 90 kg/s of fuel at 2500 m/s for 10 seconds, calculate the change in velocity.

💡 Hint: Consider thrust's effect versus gravitational pull while calculating.

Question 2

Analyze the implications if the thrust only begins after the spacecraft has fallen for 15 seconds. What changes upon activation?

💡 Hint: Reflect on how time impacts momentum and force balance.
