A rocket starts vertically upward with speed `v_(0)`. Show that its speed `v` at height `h` is given by `v_(0)^(2)-v^(2)=(2hg)/(1+h/R)`
where `R` is the radius of the earth and `g` is acceleration due to gravity at earth's suface. Deduce an expression for maximum height reachhed by a rocket fired with speed `0.9` times the escape velocity.
