Kinetic energy.
mass.
angular momentum.
linear momentum.
Solution
Taking rocket + fuel as system total linear momentum must be conserved since there is no external force. As the exhaust moves out with high speed towards the Earth , the rocket moves with same momentum away from the earth as the net momentum should be zero.
