$A$ stationary rocket of initial mass $m_0$ is expelling exhaust gas at a steady speed $v_e$ with respect to itself. There is no external force on the rocket. When its mass is reduced to $\frac{m_0}{2}$,the velocity attained by the rocket will be:

  • A
    $2 \ v_e$
  • B
    $v_e$
  • C
    $0.69 \ v_e$
  • D
    $0.5 \ v_e$

The initial mass of a rocket is $1000 \, \text{kg}$. Calculate at what rate the fuel (in $\text{kg s}^{-1}$) should be burnt so that the rocket is given an acceleration of $20 \, \text{m s}^{-2}$. The gases come out at a relative speed of $500 \, \text{m s}^{-1}$ with respect to the rocket. [Use $g = 10 \, \text{m s}^{-2}$]
