Problem 4.(1 point)
A rocket accelerates by burning its on-board fuel, so its mass decreases with time. Suppose the initial mass of the rocket at liftoff (including its fuel) is m, the fuel is consumed at rate r, and the exhaust gases are ejected with constant velocity vc(relative to the rocket). A model for the velocity of the rocket at time t is given by the equation
v(t)=-gt-vcln(m-rtm)
where g is the acceleration due to gravity and t is not too large. If g=9.8ms2,m=35000kg,r=160kgs, and vc=3000ms, find the height (in meters) of the rocket one minute after liftoff.
Height = meters
