Tsiolkovsky Rocket Equation derived from first principles, using conservation of momentum (assuming constant velocity and no external forces).
Then we look at two practical applications of the equation.
Pre-requisites:
- Basic calculus (integration and differentiation)
- Logarithms
- Linear momentum and forces
