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
    $2 \times 10^3\, N$
  • B
    $5 \times 10^4\, N$
  • C
    $2 \times 10^6\, N$
  • D
    $2 \times 10^9\, N$
