3 A rocket of mass 1200 kg is travelling at 2000 m/s. It fires its engine for 1 minute. The forward thrust provided by the rocke

t engines is 10 kN (10 000 N).
(i) Use increase in momentum = F x t to calculate the increase in momentum of the rocket.
(ii) Use your answer to a to calculate the increase in velocity of the rocket and its new velocity after firing the engines.

The impulse shared by the object equals the difference in momentum of the object. In equation form,

F • t = m • Δ v. In a collision, objects experience an impulse; the impulse causes and is equal to the difference in momentum.

<h3>How to calculate thrust provided by the rocket engines is 10 kN (10 000 N).?</h3>

a)There is this impulse-momentum change equation.

$where m$ is the mass of a body, $F$ is a force acting to the body, $t$ is time and $D E L A T A N\}=V_{2}-V_{1}$ is the change of velocity.We consider everything is happen along a straight line, and gravitation does not participate.So, the increase of momentum is $\mathrm{F}^{*} \mathrm{t}=10000 \mathrm{~N} * 60$ seconds $=600000 \mathrm{~N}^{*} \mathrm{~s}=600000\left(\mathrm{~kg}^{*} \mathrm{~m}\right)^{*} \mathrm{~s} / \mathrm{s}^{\wedge} 2=600000 \mathrm{~kg}{ }^{*} \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}$.$
