At some point in its trajectory, a ballistic missile of mass (m) and velocity v0 splits into two equal masses at right angles to each other. Find the velocity of the second mass if its velocity is twice the speed of the first object in terms of v0?
Calculate the maximum rate at which a rocket can expel gases if its acceleration cannot exceed seven times that of gravity. The mass of the rocket just as it runs out of fuel is 75,000 kg, and its exhaust velocity is 2.40x103 m/s. Assume that the acceleration of gravity is the same as on Earth's surface.

A rocket takes off from Earth and reaches a speed of 100 m/s in 10.0 s. If the exhaust speed is 1500 m/s and the mass of fuel burned is 100 kg, what was the initial mass of the rocket?
At time t, a rocket is fired from rest in space. The rocket burns its fuel at constant rate for 30 s. If the exhaust velocity of the rocket is 2.50 km/s, what must be the initial to final mass ratio mi/mf of the rocket to achieve a final speed of 10.0 km/s?
A spaceship’s orbital maneuver requires a speed increase of1.20 x 103 m/s. If its engine has an exhaust speed of 2.50 x103 m/s, determine the required ratio Mi/Mf of its initial massto its final mass. (The difference Mi - Mf equals the mass ofthe ejected fuel.)
To mend satellites approaching one another at a relative speed of 0.350M/S intend to dock. The first has a mass of 5.50×10^3 kg , and the second a mass of 7.50×10^3 kg . If the two satellites collide elastically rather than dock, what is their final relative velocity? Adopt the reference frame in which the second satellite is initially at rest and assume that the positive direction is directed from the second satellite towards the first satellite. m/s ?

An astronaut of mass 180 kg including his suit and jet pack wants to acquire a velocity of 1.8 m/s to move back toward his space shuttle. Assuming the jet pack can eject gas with a velocity of 61 m/s, what mass of gas will need to be ejected? Express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units. m=__________
An unmanned space probe (of mass m and speed v relative tothe Sun) approaches the planet Jupiter (of mass Mand speed VJ relativeto the Sun) The spacecraft rounds theplanet and departs in the opposite direction.What is its speed (inkilometers per second), relative to the Sun, after this slingshot encounter,which can be analyzed as a collision? Assume v = 10.5 km/sand VJ=13.0 km/s (the orbital speed of Jupiter).The mass of Jupiteris very much greater than the mass of the spacecraft (M = m).
