(choose chapter or problem)

Consider a single-stage rocket that is launched vertically upward as shown in the accompanying photo. Let m(t) denote the total mass of the rocket at time t (which is the sum of three masses: the constant mass of the payload, the constant mass of the vehicle, and the variable amount of fuel). Assume that the positive direction is upward, air resistance is proportional to the instantaneous velocity v of the rocket, and R is the upward thrust or force generated by the propulsion system. Use (17) to find a mathematical model for the velocity v(t) of the rocket. Rocket in 21
