Question
A spaceship at rest relative to a nearby star in interplanetary space has a total mass of 2.00 ✕ 104 kg. Its engines fire at 
t = 0,
 steadily burning fuel at 79.3 kg/s with an exhaust speed of 4.50 ✕ 103 m/s. Calculate the spaceship's acceleration at 
t = 0,
 mass at 
t = 135 s,
 acceleration at 
t = 135 s,
 and speed at 
t = 135 s,
 relative to the same nearby star.
