$A$ rocket with a lift-off mass $20,000\; kg$ is blasted upwards with an initial acceleration of $5.0\; m s^{-2}$. Calculate the initial thrust (force) of the blast.

Consider a rocket is being fired. The kinetic energy of the rocket is increased by $16$ times, whereas its total mass is reduced by half through the burning of fuel. The factor by which its momentum increases is

Bullets of mass $50 \, g$ are fired from a gun of mass $10 \, kg$ with a velocity of $300 \, m/s$. If $5$ bullets are fired per second,then what force must a person apply on the gun so that it does not recoil? $(N)$

$A$ 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 $x$.

In a rocket of mass $1000\, kg$,fuel is consumed at a rate of $40\, kg/s$. The velocity of the gases ejected from the rocket is $5 \times 10^4\, m/s$. The thrust on the rocket is:

$A$ 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 $g = 9.8 \,m/s^2$.
