A missile has a mass of 1.5 Mg (without fuel). If it consumes 500 kg of solid fuel at a rate of 20 kg/s and ejects it with a velocity of 2000 m/s relative to the missile, determine the velocity and acceleration of the missile at the instant all the fuel has been consumed. Neglect air resistance and the variation of its weight with altitude. The missile is launched vertically starting from rest.
