Question

Two spaceships that have different masses but rocket engines of identical force are at rest in space. if they fire their rockets at the same time, which ship will speed up faster

Answer 1

The ship that will speed up faster if they fire their rockets at the same time is; The one with the lower mass

Rocket Propulsion

We are told that;

There are two spaceships

Each spaceship has different masses

Each spaceship has rocket engines of identical force.

We know that formula for force is;

F = ma

Thus, if force is constant, the higher the mass, the lesser the acceleration and also the lesser the speed. Thus, the lower the mass the faster the speed.

This means the spaceship that will speed up faster will be the one with lesser mass.
