Yes.. but for any point in time taken.. say a span of 1 second early in the launch... mv=mv so the pass of the rocket at that time is much greater.. since the exhaust velocity is of the fuel being burned per unit time?.. so that mass of fuel is a lot less? .. or are we meant to consider...

The rocket equation given by Delta V = Ve ln (Mo/M) says that Ve is the exhaust velocity of the rocket. The orbital velocity for Low Earth Orbit is about 7.8 Km/s. How then, is this velocity attained by a rocket which is fuelled only by a bipropellant rocket engine producing an exhaust...
