(The rocket is moving at velocity v with respect to the Earth, the propellant is moving at speed -v_{p} relative to the rocket, and so the velocity of the propellant relative to the Earth is v-v_{p}.) This expulsion of propellant will cause the rocket to then have mass m+d m and velocity v+d v.

The rocket equation gives us the change of velocity that the rocket obtains from burning a mass of fuel that decreases the total rocket mass.

(We refer to m as the “instantaneous mass” and \vec{v} as the “instantaneous velocity.”) The rocket accelerates by burning the fuel it carries and ejecting the burned exhaust gases.
