Meriam, Kraige & Bolton β Kinetics of Particles: Problem 3_14
3/14 A cesium-ion engine for deep-space propulsion is designed to produce a constant thrust of 2.5 N for long periods of time. If the engine is to propel a 70-Mg spacecraft on an interplanetary mission, compute the time t required for a speed increase from 40 000 km/h to 65 000 km/h. Also find the distance s traveled during this interval. Assume that the spacecraft is moving in a remote region of space where the thrust from its ion engine is the only force acting on the spacecraft in the direction of its motion.
