$A$ 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 $(g = 10 \, m/s^2)$.

$A$ block of metal weighing $2 \, kg$ is resting on a frictionless plane. It is struck by a jet releasing water at a rate of $1 \, kg/s$ and at a speed of $5 \, m/s$. The initial acceleration of the block will be .......... $m/s^2$.

$A$ trolley containing water has a total mass of $4000\, kg$ and is moving at a speed of $40\, m/s$. Water starts leaking from a hole at the bottom of the trolley at a rate of $8\, kg/s$. What is the speed of the trolley after $50\, s$?

$A$ cart is moving with a velocity of $20 \, m/s$. Sand is being dropped into the cart at the rate of $50 \, kg/min$. The force required to move the cart with constant velocity will be ............ $N$.

$A$ rocket has a mass of $100 \, kg$. $90\%$ of this is fuel. It ejects fuel vapours at the rate of $1 \, kg/s$ with a velocity of $500 \, m/s$ relative to the rocket. It is assumed that the rocket is outside the gravitational field. The initial upthrust on the rocket when it just starts moving upwards is ......... $N$.

$Assertion$ : $A$ rocket moves forward by pushing the surrounding air backwards.
$Reason$ : It derives the necessary thrust to move forward according to Newton's third law of motion.
