Some cases of vertical ascent of a rocket
Keywords:
Bessel functions, Vertical ascent of rocket, law of mass-variations
Abstract
The differential equations of motion of vertically ascending rocket are integrated in closed form in terms of Bessel functions. During burning the drag co-efficient and acceleration due to gravity are assumed to be constant. Four different cases of motion are treated under different assumptions regarding the law of mass-variations of the rocket.
