Question Number 23066 by Tinkutara last updated on 25/Oct/17
A rocket accelerates straight up by  ejecting gas downwards. In a small  time interval Δt, it ejects a gas of mass  Δm at a relative speed u. Calculate KE  of the entire system at t + Δt and t and  show that the device that ejects gas  does work = ((1/2))Δmu^2  in this time  interval (neglect gravity).

“Education is not learning facts  but training of mind to think”,  so truely said by Mr. Albert Einstien.

And i really believe its not only  about getting good marks or rank.  Its about enjoying in learning  and satisfy your curiosity.
Andireallybelieveitsnotonlyaboutgettinggoodmarksorrank.Itsaboutenjoyinginlearningandsatisfyyourcuriosity.

Anyways, we should clear our   concept,no matter whether its  in syllabus or not.

 Rocket equation  ((Mdv)/dt) = −u((dM/dt))+F_(ext)    ⇒ dv=((u𝚫m)/M)   .....(i)  and  dM=−Δm    and F_(ext) =0 here  Change in Kinetic energy of  rocket and of gas between t+Δt  and t is  ΔK=Mvdv+(1/2)(dM)v^2                   +(1/2)(Δm)(v−u)^2        =Mvdv−((v^2 Δm)/2)+((v^2 Δm)/2)                    +((u^2 𝚫m)/2)−uvΔm     W=𝚫K=((u^2 𝚫m)/2)+Mv(((u𝚫m)/M))                                         −uv𝚫m          =((u^2 𝚫m)/2)  .
