A rocket has total mass Mi = 360 kg, including Mfuel = 330 kg of fuel and oxidizer. In interstellar space, it starts from rest at the position x = 0, turns on its engine at time t = 0, and puts out exhaust with relative speed ve = 1 500 m/s at the constant rate k = 2.50 kg/s. The fuel will last for a burn time of Tb = Mfuel/k = 330 kg/(2.5 kg/s) = 132 s. (a) Show that during the burn the velocity of the rocket as a function of time is given by v(t)=veln(1ktMi) (b) Make a graph of the velocity of the rocket as a function of time for times running from 0 to 132 s.

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.
