why is this wrong...THRUST?? i showed work!
A rocket for use in deep space is to have the capability of boosting a total load (payload plus the rocket frame and engine) of 2.25 metric tons to a speed of 10 000 m/s.
If a different fuel and engine design could give an exhaust speed of 4600 m/s, what amount of fuel and oxidizer would be required for the same task?
metric tons
vf=ve ln(mi/mf)
10000=4600ln(x/2.25)
x= 19.71
but its wrong. can you help?
