$A$ sand dropper drops sand of mass $m(t)$ on a conveyer belt at a rate proportional to the square root of speed $v$ of the belt,i.e.,$\frac{dm}{dt} \propto \sqrt{v}$. If $P$ is the power delivered to run the belt at constant speed,then which of the following relationships is true?

  • A
    $P^2 \propto v^3$
  • B
    $P \propto \sqrt{v}$
  • C
    $P \propto v$
  • D
    $P^2 \propto v^5$

$A$ soldier with a machine gun,falling from an airplane,gets detached from his parachute. He is able to resist the downward acceleration if he shoots $40$ bullets per second at a speed of $500 \,m/s$. If the mass of a bullet is $49 \,g$,what is the mass of the man with the gun in $kg$? Ignore air resistance and assume the acceleration due to gravity $g = 9.8 \,m/s^2$.
