A space shuttle while travelling at a speed of 4000 km/h with respect to the earth disconnects and ejects a module backward, weighing one sixth of the resudual part. If the shuttle ejects the disconnected module at a speed of 100 km/h with respect to the state of the shuttle before the ejection, find the final velocity of the shuttle.

A rocket is ejecting a mass m of gases per unit time with velocity V relative to the rocket, the thrust on the rocket is:

A satellite of mass m is launched vertically upwards with an initial speed sqrt((GM)/®) from the surface of the earth. After it reaches height R (R = radius of the earth), it ejects a rocket of mass m/10 in a direction opposite to the initial direction of the satellite, so that subsequently the satellite escapes to infinity. The minimum kinetic energy of the rocket at ejection needed is (G is the gravitational constant, M is the mass of the earth):
