Question
A rocket has mass 40,000 Kilogram (kg) which includes 20,000 kg of fuel
mixture is fired vertically upward in a vacuum ( that is free space where
gravitational field is negligible).
During the burning process , the exhaust gases are ejected at a constant
rate of 1000 kg / s and at a constant velocity with magnitude 400 metres/s
relative to the rocket.
If the rocket was initially at rest , then its speed after 30 seconds is equal to :
400 In(4) metres/s
400 In metres/s
400 In(2) metres/s
O 400 In)
metres/s
400 metres/s
