delta v's

[maple51]

I was just wondering if somebody could tell me the calculation for delta v's as I just can't find it.

You want the rocket equation:

ÃŽâ€V == Ve * ln(Initial mass/Final mass) [Ve is specific impulse, or more accurately effective exhaust velocity in m/s]

or

ÃŽâ€V == 9.81 * Isp * ln(Initial mass/Final mass) [isp is specific impulse in s]

You'll need to calculate it separately for each stage.

Thank you.

Can one add the delta V of each stage together to figure out the total DV of a rocket?

Exactly that. Just keep in mind that stages above the current one are extra mass that needs to be accounted for.
