1. James Bond's Aston Martin with combined mass 1250 kg (car and driver) is driving at 55 m/s when Dr. No's evil forces approach him from the rear. To escape, Bond fires his internal rocket engine which provides a force of 2.5 10⁴ N for 2.5 seconds. What is the final velocity of Bond's Car?

1. The 80,000 kg space shuttle has an orbital speed of 7500 m/s.
   2. What impulse is necessary to get the space shuttle to orbital speed from rest?
   4. If we were to assume a constant force of 7.7 10⁵ Newtons of force on the shuttle during launch, how long does it take to reach orbital speed?
