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?
