$A$ block of metal weighing $2 \,kg$ is resting on a frictionless plane (as shown in figure). It is struck by a jet releasing water at a rate of $1 \,kg \,s^{-1}$ and at a speed of $10 \,m \,s^{-1}$. Then,the initial acceleration of the block,in $m \,s^{-2}$,will be:

  • A
    $3$
  • B
    $6$
  • C
    $5$
  • D
    $4$

At a certain instant of time,the mass of a rocket going up vertically is $100 \, kg$. If it is ejecting $5 \, kg$ of gas per second at a speed of $400 \, m/s$,the acceleration of the rocket would be ........ $m/s^2$ (taking $g = 10 \, m/s^2$).

$A$ rocket of mass $4000\, kg$ is set for vertical firing. How much gas must be ejected per second so that the rocket may have an initial upward acceleration of magnitude $19.6\, m/s^2$? [Exhaust speed of fuel $= 980\, m/s$.]

$A$ rocket lifts off from the ground and accelerates upwards at $1 \ m \ s^{-2}$. $20 \ s$ after liftoff, a piece breaks off from the bottom of the rocket. After breaking off, how much time does it take approximately to reach the ground (in $s$)? (Take $g = 10 \ m \ s^{-2}$)

An open carriage in a goods train is moving with a uniform velocity of $10 \,m/s$. If the rain adds water with zero velocity at the rate of $5 \,kg/s$,then the additional force required by the engine to maintain the same velocity of the train is ....... $N$.
