A rocket with an initial mass of `1000 kg`, is launched vertically upward from rest under gravity. The rocket burns fuel at the rate of `10 kg` per second. The burnt matter is ejected vertically downwards with a speed of `2000 m//s` relative to the rocket . Find the velocity of the rocket after `1 min` of start.

To find the velocity of the rocket after 1 minute, we will use the principles of rocket motion and the conservation of momentum. Here’s a step-by-step solution: ### Step 1: Identify the given data - Initial mass of the rocket, \( m_0 = 1000 \, \text{kg} \) - Rate of fuel burn, \( \frac{dm}{dt} = 10 \, \text{kg/s} \) - Relative velocity of the ejected fuel, \( v_r = 2000 \, \text{m/s} \) - Time of burn, \( t = 60 \, \text{s} \) - Acceleration due to gravity, \( g = 10 \, \text{m/s}^2 \) ...
