A new design of Saturn 12 rocket with mass 1.82 x10^6 kg has a propulsion engine that can eject gases at a constant speed of 219.13 m/s (vGas) by burning fuel at a rate of 3.78 x10^5 kg/s (dmdT). In full tank, the rocket can carry a fuel of mass 45.11 x10^6 kg. If this design exceeds the velocity of 11,200 m/s it can successfully escape Earth's gravity. Determine if this is so. Find its maximum velocity (velyZ) in a PhysLab virtual simulation. (Pitch Angle = 0)
