Answer:

Propulsion system, antigravitational tech

Explanation:

Fuel is extremely inefficient and expensive not to mention it weighs a lot. You really only need to reach escape velocity to leave earth. The rest is just a little amount of boosting to alter course and slow down for landing. I couldn't really think of much. Once we have an antigravitational system then you could say the whole rocket is holding you back because the design would be different. Nobody really knows how to defy gravity but that would be a technolgical limitation for sure.

A spaceship, at rest in some inertial frame in space, suddenly needs to accelerate. The ship forcibly expels 103 kg of fuel from

Cerrena [4.2K]

Answer:

$V_s = 1.8*10^5m/s$

Explanation:

There is no external force applied, therefore there is a moment's preservation throughout the trajectory.

<em>Initial momentum = Final momentum. </em>

The total mass is equal to

$m_T= m_1 +m_2$

Where,

$m_1 =$ mass of ship

$m_2 =$ mass of fuell expeled.

As the moment is conserved we have,

$0=V_fm_2+V_sm_1$

Where,

$V_f =$ Velocity of fuel

$V_s =$ Velocity of Space Ship

Solving and re-arrange to $V_s$ we have,

$V_s = \frac{V_f m_2 }{m_1}$

$V_s = \frac{3/5c}{10^6}$

$V_s = 3.5*10^{-3}c$

Where c is the speed of light.

Therefore the ship be moving with speed

$V_s = \frac{3}{5}*10^{-3}*3*10^8m/s$

$V_s = 1.8*10^5m/s$
