A satellite thruster has a specific impulse of 310 seconds310 \text{ seconds}310 seconds. Convert this metric to effective exhaust velocity in meters per second (m/s\text{m/s}m/s), using standard Earth gravity g0≈9.80665 m/s2g_0 \approx 9.80665 \text{ m/s}^2g0​≈9.80665 m/s2 as the conversion factor (ve=Isp⋅g0v_e = I_{sp} \cdot g_0ve​=Isp​⋅g0​).
