$A$ rocket with a lift-off mass $2 \times 10^4\,kg$ is blasted upwards with an initial acceleration of $5\,m\,s^{-2}$. The initial thrust of the blast is (Take $g = 10\,m\,s^{-2}$).

$A$ balloon with mass $m$ is descending vertically with an acceleration $a$ (where $a < g$). The mass to be removed from the balloon so that it starts moving vertically up with an acceleration $a$ is:

$A$ Diwali rocket of mass $100\,g$ lifts up with an acceleration of $5\,m/s^2$. If gases eject out of the rocket at a rate of $10\,g/s$,then find the velocity of ejection of gas with respect to the rocket in $m/s$.

$A$ rocket accelerates straight up by ejecting gas downwards. In a small time interval $\Delta t$,it ejects a gas of mass $\Delta m$ at a relative speed $u$. Calculate the kinetic energy $(KE)$ of the entire system at time $t + \Delta t$ and $t$,and show that the device that ejects gas does work equal to $(\frac{1}{2}) \Delta m u^2$ in this time interval (ignoring gravity).

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 ............ $m/s^2$.

$A$ rocket can go vertically upwards in the Earth's atmosphere because
