Question

An orbiting satellite has a mass of 5000 kg and is travelling at a constant velocity of V0. To
alter its orbit, an attached rocket discharges 100 kg of gases from the reaction of solid fuel
at a speed of 3000 m/s relative to the satellite in a direction opposite V0. The fuel discharge
rate is constant for 2 s. Determine
(a) The thrust exerted on the satellite.
(b) The acceleration of the satellite during this 2 s period.
(c) The change of velocity of the satellite during this time period.
