Let's say we want a drive that can produce 100 mNewtons of thrust for 4 years. We settle on a 2,000-volt difference in voltage for the drive grids.

1. How fast will each Xenon atom be leaving the thruster? _____________m/sec ( COE)

2. Working with 1 second of time and using the impulse equation from last semester what force will each atom put on the spacecraft ? ________________ newtons. F*dt=m*dv
