Suppose a spacecraft in permanent orbit around the earth is to be used for delivering payloads from low earth orbit (LEO) to geostationary equatorial orbit (GEO). Before each flight from LEO, the spacecraft is refueled with propellant, which it uses up in its round-trip to GEO. The outbound leg requires four times as much propellant as the inbound return leg. The delta-v for transfer from LEO to GEO is 4.22 km/s. The specific impulse of the propulsion system is 430 s. If the payload mass is 3500 kg, calculate the empty mass of the vehicle.

Atank holds 1000 gallons of water, which drains from the bottom of the tank in half an hour. the values in the table show the volume v of water remaining in the tank (in gallons) after t minutes.t(min) 5 10 15 20 25 30v(gal) 694 444 250 111 28 0(a) if p is the point (15, 250) on the graph of v, find the slopes of the secant lines pq when q is the point on the graph with t = 5, 10, 20, 25, and 30.(b) estimate the slope of the tangent line at p by averaging the slopes of two secant lines.(c) use a graph of the function to estimate the slope of the tangent line at p. (this slope represents the rate at which the water is flowing from the tank after 15 minutes.)show all steps.
