    "abstract": "A spaceship with one thruster producing a constant magnitude force is\nanalyzed for various initial conditions. This elementary problem, with one\nobject acted upon by one force, has value as a challenge to one\u0027s physical\nintuition and in demonstrating the benefits and limitations of dimensional\nanalysis. In addition, the problem can serve to introduce a student to special\nfunctions, provide a mechanical model for Fresnel integrals and the associated\nCornu spiral, or be used as an example in a numerical methods course. The\nproblem has some interesting and perhaps unexpected features.",
