2. A model rocket is constructed with a motor that can provide a total impulse of 29.0 N s. The mass of the rocket is 0.175 kg. What is the speed that this rocket achieves when launched from rest? Neglect the effects of gravity and air resistance.

 

Impulse-Momentum Theory says

Since rocket was at rest at first

We are not really interested in directions, so we can drop vector notation
