A shuttlecraft is initially moving at 96.0 m/s as it travels in
deep space. The mass of the shuttle given its current fuel level is
approximately 6.41 ✕ 106 kg. When the
shuttle fires its rockets to move faster, the speed of the exhaust
leaving the rockets is 2900 m/s. What is the mass of the fuel
necessary to get the shuttlecraft up to a final speed of 130 m/s?

1.) You are in a spaceship at rest in deep space, outside the influence of any gravity. Without fuel, your vessel has a mass of 5,750 kg and its rocket engine expels exhaust at a speed of 8,250 m/s. You want to travel to an outpost that is quite far away, and you decide to accelerate to a speed of 12,500 m/s, coast for some time, and then slow down to a stop. A) What is the minimum mass of...

Th figure below shows a mass m=1.0 kg which is initially moving
with speed v=7.2 m/s at the top of a frictionless hill of height
h=4.9 m. It slides down the hill until it encounters a flat section
with unknown coefficient of kinetic friction µk. If the object
travels a distance D=11.1 m before reaching a speed of v/2, what is
the coefficient of kinetic friction µk? (use picture, but first
