If 118 grams of propellant are ejected at a speed of 00425


An ion rocket engine obtains thrust by firing out charged atoms (ions) at very high speeds. If 11.8 grams of propellant are ejected at a speed of 0.0425% the speed of light (c = 3x108 m/s) every second, what would be the acceleration on the 790 kg rocket?
