A rocket engine uses fuel and oxidizer in a reaction that produces gas particles having a velocity of 1380 ms. The desired thrust is to be 195000 N.1. What must be the fuel/oxidizer consumption rate (in kg s-1)?2. If the initial weight of the rocket is 125000 N, what is its initial acceleration?3. What are the weight and acceleration of the rocket at t = 15.0 s after ignition?
