A rocket engine has a specific impulse of Isp=320 secondsI_{sp} = 320\text{ seconds}. The effective exhaust velocity (vev_e) is related to specific impulse by ve=Ispg0v_e = I_{sp} \cdot g_0, where g09.81 m/s2g_0 \approx 9.81\text{ m/s}^2 is the standard acceleration due to gravity. What is the effective exhaust velocity of the rocket engine in kilometers per second (km/s\text{km/s})?
