Question
I am reviewing for a test and I don't know how to attempt this question. Could someone please work through this problem and then have the general steps that I need to take to solve the question?
Here is the question:
A rocket expels gases at a rate of 1.30 x 10^3 kg/s with a speed of 3.00 x 10^4 m/s. What is the force exerted on the rocket? Hint: What does Impulse equal to? What is the momentum change for 1 sec?
