A rocket, with an original mass of 20,000 kg, is launched vertically and expels 1000kg of mass every 20 seconds (take the average rocket recoil mass in applying momentum conservation). Determine the numerical value of the velocity of the rocket, after 2 10 second intervals, and also determine how far it has traveled at the end of that time.
Every second, the rocket expels 1000/20 kg = 50kg/sec
mass at any time will be m = 20000 - 50t
Change in momentum wrt time is
dm/dt × v
F = dm /dt × v
a = ( dm/dt × v) / m
dv/dt = 50v/m
dv/v = 50/(20000 -50t) × dt
Integrating we have
ln v = ln(1/400-t)
Put t = 20 sec and find out v,
For finding distance use a =vdv/ds and then you can calculate the integral.

I'd question 40 please. 39. Rocket Motion Suppose a small single-stage rocket of total mass m) is launched vertically, the positive direction is upward, the air resistance is linear, and the rocket consumes its fuel at a constant rate. In Problem 22 of Exercises 1.3 you were asked to use Newton's second law of motion in the form given in (17) of that exercise set to show that a mathematical model for the velocity v(t) of the rocket is given...

A 2590-kg test rocket is launched vertically from the launch pad. Its fuel (of negligible mass) provides a thrust force so that its vertical velocity as a function of time is given by v(t)=At+Bt2, where A and B are constants and time is measured from the instant the fuel is ignited.
