$A$ rocket with an initial mass $m_0$ is going up with a constant acceleration $a$ by exhausting gases with a velocity $v$ relative to the rocket motion. The mass of the rocket at any instant of time $t$ is (assume that no other forces act on it).

  • A
    $m=m_0 e^{-\frac{a t}{v}}$
  • B
    $m=m_0 e^{-\frac{2 a t}{v}}$
  • C
    $m=m_0 e^{-\frac{a t}{2 v}}$
  • D
    $m=m_0 e^{-\frac{a^2 t^2}{v^2}}$
