The rocket equation (Tsiolkovsky) relates rocket velocity change to exhaust velocity and mass ratio. It's fundamental to space mission planning and launch vehicle design.

公式

The calculator applies ΔV = v_e × ln(m_initial / m_final)

ステップバイステップガイド

  1. 1Enter initial mass, final mass, and exhaust velocity
  2. 2The calculator applies ΔV = v_e × ln(m_initial / m_final)
  3. 3Results show achievable velocity change

解いた例

入力
v_e = 4000 m/s, m_initial = 100 tonnes, m_final = 10 tonnes
結果
ΔV ≈ 9,210 m/s
Sufficient for Earth orbit

避けるべきよくある間違い

  • Using natural logarithm (ln) instead of log₁₀
  • Confusing initial mass with fuel mass

よくある質問

Why does mass ratio matter so much?

The logarithmic relationship means doubling the mass ratio roughly doubles the velocity change, making efficiency critical.

What determines exhaust velocity?

Exhaust velocity depends on propellant energy density and engine efficiency; chemical rockets are typically 3000-4500 m/s.
