Consider a rocket with initial mass me that is taking off (starting from rest) ejecting the dm exhaust gases at a constant rate dt =-k (where k>0) and exhaust speed Vex. Assume that it is subject to a linear resistive force, F, = -bv (where b>0), and the force of gravity is negligible. Derive the expression for the rocket's velocity as a function of time.
