Hey, i would like to know if anyone could tell me what the source of this question is. I first found in on one of the threads but now they deleted them. I know how to do it just need to know the source of the question.

Q: Early astronauts in space only orbited the Earth at an altitude of between 80km and 200km. A typical rocket engine would provide a thrust of 380000N to a rocket with a total mass of 29830kg prior to lift off and would use 25315kg of fuel during the flight.

A: 74 m/s

CSSA 2004 Trial if I remember. The question is stuffed, it doesn't take into account the change in gravity.
