$A$ heap of rope with mass density $\lambda$ (per unit length) lies on a table. You grab one end and pull horizontally with constant speed $v$,as shown in the figure. (Assume that the rope has no friction with itself in the heap.) The force that you must apply to maintain the constant speed $v$ is

$A$ $600\; kg$ 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

$A$ satellite in force-free space sweeps stationary interplanetary dust at a rate $\frac{dM}{dt} = \alpha v$,where $M$ is the mass,$v$ is the velocity of the satellite,and $\alpha$ is a constant. What is the deceleration of the satellite?

$A$ stationary rocket of initial mass $m_0$ is expelling exhaust gas at a steady speed $v_e$ with respect to itself. There is no external force on the rocket. When its mass is reduced to $\frac{m_0}{2}$,the velocity attained by the rocket will be:
