Rockets and satellites are the inseparable parts of the human inventions, it is so hard to go back to the old where, there were no satellites, no Internet, no moon landings, no space exploration, no global communication. were we are going to discuss one of the most important application of newton’s second law of motion? A time derivative which provides the equation for launching a rocket and information about its travel. It clearly explains the fundamentals of a rocket and gives a accurate relation between instantaneous velocity of the rocket and the other factors involved in the process like, instantaneous mass, and time.

Calculus is used here to determine the instantaneous velocity of the rocket.
