Example: A small rocket with an initial mass of 400 kg, is to be launched vertically. Upon ignition the rocket consumes fuel at a rate of 5 kg/s and ejects gas at atmospheric pressure with a speed of 3500 m/s relative to the rocket. Determine the initial acceleration of the CV rocket and the rocket speed after 10 seconds, if the air resistance is neglected.

Example: A small rocket with an initial mass of 400 kg, is
to be launched vertically. Upon ignition the rocket
consumes fuel at a rate of 5 kg/s and ejects gas at
atmospheric pressure with a speed of 3500 m/s relative
to the rocket. Determine the initial acceleration of the
CV
rocket and the rocket speed after 10 seconds, if the air
resistance is neglected.
