Conservation of Momentum in Rocket Propulsion

[QUOTE="VVS, post: 4540519, member: 83462"] Hi, I really need clarification for this problem. [h2]Homework Statement [/h2] A rocket with initial mass M0 is accelerated by expulsion of a partial mass dm of its mass m with a constant velocity u. Write down the differential equation corresponding to the conservation law of momentum for the velocity v(m) of the rocket and evaluate it under the condition v(m = M0) = v0. What is the terminal velocity when the final mass of the rocket is Me? [h2]The Attempt at a Solution[/h2] I have attached three different approaches (all using the conservation of momentum principle) of mine in this pdf file. But unfortunately I get three different results. Please point out which approach is wrong. thanks a lot VVS [/QUOTE]
