Rocket motion
Not what you're looking for?
A rocket ascends from rest in a uniform gravitational field by ejecting exhaust with constant speed " u " . Assume that the rate at witch mass is expelled is given by dm/dt = Cm , where m is the instataneous mass of the rocket and C is a constant, and that the rocket is retarded by air resistance with a force mBv, wher B is a constant.
FInd the velocity of the rocket as a function of time
