The rate of fuel consumption in a rocket is $40 \ kg/s$. The velocity of the exhaust gases coming out of the rocket is $5 \times 10^4 \ m/s$. What is the thrust force acting on the rocket?

$A$ gun of mass $10 \, kg$ fires $4$ bullets per second. The mass of each bullet is $20 \, g$ and the velocity of the bullet when it leaves the gun is $300 \, m/s$. The force required to hold the gun while firing is (in $N$)

$A$ rocket of initial mass $1500 \ kg$ ejects gas at a constant rate of $10 \ kg/s$ with a relative speed of $5 \ km/s$. The acceleration of the rocket $50 \ s$ after the blast,neglecting gravity,is $x \ ms^{-2}$. Find the value of $x$.

An isolated rail car originally moving with speed $v_0$ on a straight,frictionless,level track contains a large amount of sand. $A$ release valve on the bottom of the car malfunctions,and sand begins to pour out straight down relative to the rail car. What happens to the speed of the rail car as the sand pours out?

Gravels are dropped on a conveyor belt at the rate of $0.5 \, kg/s$. The extra force required in newtons to keep the belt moving at $2 \, m/s$ is

$A$ spaceship in space sweeps stationary interplanetary dust. As a result,its mass increases at a rate $\frac{dM(t)}{dt} = bv^2(t)$,where $v(t)$ is its instantaneous velocity. The instantaneous acceleration of the spaceship is
