$A$ stationary rocket of initial mass $m_0$ is expelling exhaust gas at a steady speed $v_e$ with respect to itself. There is no external force on the rocket. When its mass is reduced to $\frac{m_0}{2}$,the velocity attained by the rocket will be:

  • A
    $2 \ v_e$
  • B
    $v_e$
  • C
    $0.69 \ v_e$
  • D
    $0.5 \ v_e$
