Two missiles A and B powered by solid rocket motors have identical specific impulse, liftoff mass of 5600 kg each, and burn durations of tA = 30 s and tB = 70 s respectively. The propellant mass flow rates, ṁA and ṁB for missiles A and B, respectively, are given by ṁA = 120 kg/s, 0 ≤ t ≤ 30 and ṁB = 70 kg/s, 0 ≤ t ≤ 70. Neglecting gravity and aerodynamic forces, the relationship between the final velocities VA and VB of missiles A and B, respectively, is given by
A
VA = 4.1VB
B
VA = VB
C
VA = 0.5VB
D
VA = 0.7VB

Correct : b
