What is the final speed of the shuttle

Reference no: EM13556637

A shuttle with a mass of 18,000 kg is traveling at 6,750 m/s when retrorockets are fired to increase the shuttle's speed. These engines generate a force of 425,000 N over a distance of 1640 km. What is the final speed of the shuttle after the engines shut down?
