A rocket has been fired upwards to launch a satellite in its orbit . Name the two forces acting on the rocket immidiately after leaving the launching pad.

n a rocket, the mass of the fuel is 90% of the total mass. The rocket is blasted from the launching pad. If the exhaust gases are ejected at a speed of 1000 S^(-1) what is the maximum speed attained by the rocket? (Neglect the effects of gravity and air resistance).

A rocket, set for vertical launching, has a mass of 50 kg and contains 450 kg of fuel. It can have a maximum exhaust speed of 1 kms^(-1) If g = 10 ms^(-2) . What should be the minimum rate of fuel consumption to just lift it off the launching pad ?
