The speed by which the spaceprobe travels when all the rocket fuel is used up will be 29.262 m/sec.
<h3>What is the law of conservation of linear momentum?</h3>
According to the law of conservation of linear momentum before the collision is equal to the momentum after the collision. These laws state how momentum gets conserved.
Unit conversion;
1 km/sec = 1000 m/sec
Given data;
Spaceprobe speed = 1.795 km/s = 1795 m /sec
Probe mass = 635.0 kg
Fuel mass = 4092.0 kg
Expelled propellent velocity = 4.161 km/s = 41461 m/sec
From the momentum conservation principle;
Hence, the speed by which the spaceprobe travels when all the rocket fuel is used up will be 29.262 m/sec.
