$Assertion$ : $A$ rocket moves forward by pushing the surrounding air backwards.
$Reason$ : It derives the necessary thrust to move forward according to Newton's third law of motion.

  • A
    If both $Assertion$ and $Reason$ are correct and the $Reason$ is a correct explanation of the $Assertion$.
  • B
    If both $Assertion$ and $Reason$ are correct but $Reason$ is not a correct explanation of the $Assertion$.
  • C
    If the $Assertion$ is correct but $Reason$ is incorrect.
  • D
    If both the $Assertion$ and $Reason$ are incorrect.

$A$ rocket is fired vertically up from the ground with a resultant vertical acceleration of $10\ m/s^2$. The fuel is finished in $1\ minute$ and it continues to move up. $(a)$ Find the maximum height reached. $(b)$ After how much time from then will the maximum height be reached? (Take $g = 10\ m/s^2$)

$A$ $600\; kg$ rocket is set for a vertical firing. If the exhaust speed is $1000\; m/s$,the mass of the gas ejected per second (in $kg/s$) to supply the thrust needed to overcome the weight of the rocket is

Gravels are dropped on a conveyor belt at the rate of $0.5 \, kg/s$. The extra force required in newtons to keep the belt moving at $2 \, m/s$ is

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 $g = 10 \, \text{m s}^{-2}$]

$A$ rocket accelerates straight up by ejecting gas downwards. In a small time interval $\Delta t$,it ejects a gas of mass $\Delta m$ at a relative speed $u$. Calculate the kinetic energy $(KE)$ of the entire system at time $t + \Delta t$ and $t$,and show that the device that ejects gas does work equal to $(\frac{1}{2}) \Delta m u^2$ in this time interval (ignoring gravity).
