An ice block is melting at a constant rate $\left| \frac{dm}{dt} \right| = \mu$. Its initial mass is $m_0$ and it is moving with velocity $v$ on a frictionless horizontal surface. The distance travelled by it until it melts completely is:

  • A
    $\frac{2m_0v}{\mu}$
  • B
    $\frac{m_0v}{\mu}$
  • C
    $\frac{m_0v}{2\mu}$
  • D
    Cannot be determined

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 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 $g = 10\,m\,s^{-2}$).

The initial mass of a rocket is $1000 \, \text{kg}$. Calculate at what rate the fuel (in $\text{kg s}^{-1}$) should be burnt so that the rocket is given an acceleration of $20 \, \text{m s}^{-2}$. The gases come out at a relative speed of $500 \, \text{m s}^{-1}$ with respect to the rocket. [Use $g = 10 \, \text{m s}^{-2}$]
