Find the mass of the rocket as a function of time, if it moves with a constant acceleration `a`, in absence of external forces. The gas escapes with a constant velocity `u` relative to the rocket and its mass initially was `m_0`.

A

`m = m_(0) e^(-(alpha//u)t)`

B

`m = m_(0) e^(-(2alpha//u)t)`

C

`m = m_(0) e^(-(u//alphau t))`

D

`m = m_(0) e^(-(2u//alpha t))`
