$A$ metal block of $2 \,kg$ is at rest on a smooth plane. It is struck by a water jet releasing water at a rate of $1 \,kg \,s^{-1}$ with a speed of $5 \,ms^{-1}$. The acceleration of the block is: (in $\,ms^{-2}$)

In the first second of its flight,a rocket ejects $1/60$ of its mass with a velocity of $2400\,m/s$. The acceleration of the rocket is ............ $m/s^2$.

$A$ rifle of $20 \,kg$ mass can fire $4$ bullets per second. The mass of each bullet is $35 \times 10^{-3} \,kg$ and its final velocity is $400 \,ms^{-1}$. What force must be applied on the rifle so that it does not move backwards while firing the bullets (in $\,N$)?

$A$ rocket has an initial mass of $20 \times 10^3 \, kg$. If it is to blast off with an initial acceleration of $4 \, m/s^2$,the initial thrust needed is $(g = 10 \, m/s^2)$.

Can the flight of a rocket be considered projectile motion? Give reasons.

$A$ rocket with an initial mass $m_0$ is going up with a constant acceleration $a$ by exhausting gases with a velocity $v$ relative to the rocket motion. The mass of the rocket at any instant of time $t$ is (assume that no other forces act on it).
