Two identical particles, each of mass 1 000 kg, are coasting in free space along the same path, one in front of the other by 20.0 m. At the instant their separation distance has this value, each particle has precisely the same velocity of 800 m/s. What are their precise velocities when they are 2.00 m apart? Figure P13 74
A single-stage rocket of mass 308 metric tons (not including fuel) carries a payload of 3150 kg to low-Earth orbit. The exhaust speed of the rockets cryogenic propellant is 3.20 103 m/s. a. If the speed of the rocket as it enters orbit is 8.00 km/s, what is the mass of propellant used during the rockets burn? b. The rocket is redesigned to boost its exhaust speed by a factor of two. What is the mass of propellant used in the redesigned rocket to carry the same payload to low-Earth orbit? c. Because the exhaust speed of the redesigned rocket is increased by a factor of two, why is the fuel consumption of the redesigned rocket not exactly half that of the original rocket?
A particle of mass m moving along the x-axis with a velocity component +u collides head-on and sticks to a particle of mass m/3 moving along the x-axis with the velocity component −u. What is the mass M of the resulting particle?
Professional Application Ion-propulsion rockets have been proposed for use in space. They employ atomic ionization techniques and nuclear energy sources to produce extremely high exhaust velocities, perhaps as great as 8.00106 m/s. These techniques allow a much more favorable payload-to-fuel ratio. To illustrate this fact: (a) Calculate the increase in velocity of a 20,000-kg space probe that expels only 40.0-kg of its mass at the given exhaust velocity. (b) These engines are usually designed to produce a very small thrust for a very long time—the type of engine that might be useful on a trip to the outer planets, for example. Calculate the acceleration of such an engine if it expels 4.50106 kg/s at the given velocity, assuming the acceleration due to gravity is negligible.
Professional Application Calculate the increase in velocity of a 4000-kg space probe that expels 3500 kg of its mass at an exhaust velocity of 2.00103 m/s. You may assume the gravitational force is negligible at the probe's location.

The initially moving electron is detected at an angle of 40.0 from its original path. What is the speed of each electron after the collision? FIGURE P11.50
