A new design of Saturn 14 rocket with mass 1.47 x106 kg has a propulsion engine that can eject gases at a constant speed of 273.34 m/s (vGas) by burning fuel at a rate of 4.14  x10 5  kg/s (dmdT). In full tank, the rocket can carry a fuel of mass 47.21  x10 6  kg. If this design exceeds the velocity of 11,200 m/s it can successfully escape Earth's gravity. Determine if this is so. Find its maximum velocity (velyZ) in a PhysLab virtual simulation. (Pitch Angle = 0)
