A rocket with initial mass M kilogram (kg) including 60,250 kg of its onboard fuel mixture is fired vertically upward in a vacuum ( that is free space where gravitational field is negligible). During the burning process, the exhaust gases are ejected at a constant rate x kg/s and at a constant velocity with magnitude 400 m/s relative to the rocket. Assume the rocket was initially at rest. After few seconds the speed of the rocket relative to earth was recorded as 200 In (6.25) m/s and it took the rocket 14 additional seconds to reach its Maximum Speed of 400 In(6) m/s. Find x. Note: Record your answer without units. Enter an integer or a fully reduced fraction such as -2, 7, -3/4, 41/7 etc. No spaces please

In an elastic collision of two particles with masses m1 and m2, the initial velocities are u1 and u2 = u1. If the initial kinetic energies of the two particles are equal, find the conditions on u1/u2 and m1/m2 such that m1 is at rest after the collision. Examine both cases for the sign of .
From what might be a possible scene in the comic book The X-Men, the Juggernaut (mJ) is charging into Colossus (mC) and the two collide. The initial speed of the Juggernaut is vJi and the initial speed of Colossus is vCi. After the collision, the final speed of the Juggernaut is vJf and the final speed of Colossus is vCf as they each bounce off of the other, heading in opposite directions. a. What is the impulse experienced by the Juggernaut? b. What is the impulse experienced by Colossus? c. In your own words, explain how these impulses must compare with each other and how they are related to the average force each superhero experiences during the collision.
