The initial mass of a rocket is $1000 \, \text{kg}$. Calculate at what rate the fuel (in $\text{kg s}^{-1}$) should be burnt so that the rocket is given an acceleration of $20 \, \text{m s}^{-2}$. The gases come out at a relative speed of $500 \, \text{m s}^{-1}$ with respect to the rocket. [Use $g = 10 \, \text{m s}^{-2}$]

  • A
    $600$
  • B
    $500$
  • C
    $10$
  • D
    $60$
