Question:

A rocket has total mass Mi = 360 kg, including 330 kg of fuel and oxidizer. In interstellar space it starts from rest. Its engine is turned on at time t = 0, and it puts out exhaust with relative speed ve = 1 500 m/s at the constant rate 2.50 kg/s. The burn lasts until the fuel runs out, at time 330 kg/ (2.5 kg/s) = 132 s. Set up and carry out a computer analysis of the motion according to Euler’s method. Find
(a) The final velocity of the rocket and
(b) The distance it travels during the burn.
