A girl launches a toy rocket from the ground. The engine experiences an average thrust of 5.26 N. The mass of the engine plus fuel before liftoff is 25.4 g, which includes fuel mass of 12.7 g. The engine fires for a total of 1.90 s. (Assume all the fuel is consumed.)
(a) Calculate the average exhaust speed of the engine (in m/s).
