Bullets of mass $50 \, g$ are fired from a gun of mass $10 \, kg$ with a velocity of $300 \, m/s$. If $5$ bullets are fired per second,then what force must a person apply on the gun so that it does not recoil? $(N)$

$A$ machine gun is mounted on a $2000 \,kg$ car on a horizontal frictionless surface. At some instant,the gun fires bullets of mass $10 \,g$ with a velocity of $500 \,m/s$ with respect to the car. If the number of bullets fired per second is $10$,the acceleration of the car will be ..... $m/s^2$.

$A$ flexible chain of length $L = 2 \ m$ and mass $M = 1 \ kg$ is initially held in a vertical position such that its lower end just touches a horizontal surface. It is released from rest at time $t = 0$. Assuming that any part of the chain that strikes the plane immediately comes to rest and that the portion of the chain lying on the horizontal surface does not form any heap,find the height of its centre of mass above the surface at the instant $t = 1/\sqrt{5} \ s$ (before it completely comes to rest).

$A$ 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 ......... $N$.

$A$ metal block of mass $4 \ kg$ is at rest on a frictionless surface. It is struck by a jet of water releasing $2 \ kg \ s^{-1}$ at a speed of $10 \ m \ s^{-1}$. The acceleration of the block is (in $m \ s^{-2}$)
