$A$ flat plate moves normally with a speed $v_1$ towards a horizontal jet of water of uniform area of cross-section. The jet discharges water at the rate of volume $V$ per second at a speed of $v_2$. The density of water is $\rho$. Assume that water splashes along the surface of the plate at right angles to the original motion. The magnitude of the force acting on the plate due to the jet of water is

  • A
    $\rho V v_1$
  • B
    $\rho V(v_1 + v_2)$
  • C
    $\frac{\rho V}{v_1 + v_2} v_1^2$
  • D
    $\rho \left[ \frac{V}{v_2} \right] (v_1 + v_2)^2$

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

$A$ satellite moving with velocity $v$ in a force-free space collects stationary interplanetary dust at a rate of $\frac{dM}{dt} = \alpha v$,where $M$ is the mass (of satellite + dust) at that instant. The instantaneous acceleration of the satellite is:
