A rocket of 5000 tonnes has lifted off at sea level. Assuming that there are no drag and gravitational losses, and all the generated thrust applies to the rocket only, calculate the mass of propellant used to reach 2000 ms". During the operation to reach the stated speed, no part of the rocket is jettisoned and continuous propulsion is provided by one rocket engine having specific impulse of 500 s.
