A rocket accelerates sraight up by ejecting gas downwards. In a small time interval `Deltat`, it ejects a gas of mass `Deltam` at a relative speed `mu`. Calculate KE of the entire system at `t + Deltat` and t and show that the device that ejects gas does work = `(1/2)Delta mmu^2` in this time interval (neglect gravity).
