Question
When taking special relativity into account, this quantity is equal to the speed of light times the hyperbolic tangent of the classical version of this term over the speed of light. For 10 points each:
[10m] Identify this quantity, the impulse per unit mass needed for orbital maneuver. This quantity is proportional to the natural log of the mass ratio according to the classical Tsiolkovsky equation.
ANSWER: delta-v
[10e] The Tsiolkovsky rocket equation is derived using the conservation of this quantity, defined as mass time velocity.
ANSWER: linear momentum [reject “angular momentum”]
[10h] Also called a powered flyby, a rocket gains kinetic energy by falling into a gravitational well via this maneuver. Unlike gravitational slingshot, this maneuver can be used on bodies at rest, such as the sun.
ANSWER: Oberth effect [or Oberth maneuver]
