Find the speed of spacecraft after the rockets have fired


A spacecraft is floating motionless in space and then briefly fires its rockets to start moving. When firing its rockets, the spacecraft ejects 3,000 kg of exhaust at an average velocity of 3,000 m/s. If the mass of the rocket without the exhaust is 150,000 kg, what is the speed of the spacecraft after the rockets have fired (in m/s)?
