    Rocket ejecting mass at 15,000 kg

    And since there are no external forces acting on it, then momentum is conserved. so, we have to finish with what we started. if there was a external forces, such as in a rocket thrust problem, then we will have to involve impulse, in order to calculate the the Vf of the rocket, right?

    Rocket ejecting mass at 15,000 kg

    @Rude man, I am confused. so in general, M(total) *V(initial)= M(train)*V(final train) + m(of sand)* velocity( throughout the 30 mins) which gives me vf=20m/s. which is sort of weird, since is the same velocity we started with. Is it okay to think of it this way; that in order to have...

    Rocket ejecting mass at 15,000 kg

    It is an example question from old quizzes. why? the problem doesn't make sense? can someone help me? so would it be (100,000)(20)= (85,000)(vf) +(15,000)(20)? because the sand that is falling out, has the same speed of the cart throughout the 30 mins
