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

$A$ rocket has an initial mass of $20 \times 10^3 \, kg$. If it is to blast off with an initial acceleration of $4 \, m/s^2$,the initial thrust needed is $(g = 10 \, m/s^2)$.

$A$ metal block of $2 \,kg$ is at rest on a smooth plane. It is struck by a water jet releasing water at a rate of $1 \,kg \,s^{-1}$ with a speed of $5 \,ms^{-1}$. The acceleration of the block is: (in $\,ms^{-2}$)

$A$ $6000 \,kg$ rocket is set for firing. If the exhaust speed is $1000 \,m/s$,how much gas must be ejected each second to supply the thrust needed to overcome the weight of the rocket?

Is the formula $\vec{F} = m\vec{a}$ valid in all circumstances? Why?

$A$ soldier with a machine gun,falling from an airplane,gets detached from his parachute. He is able to resist the downward acceleration if he shoots $40$ bullets per second at a speed of $500 \,m/s$. If the mass of a bullet is $49 \,g$,what is the mass of the man with the gun in $kg$? Ignore air resistance and assume the acceleration due to gravity $g = 9.8 \,m/s^2$.
