Variable Mass System and Rocket Problem Questions in English

(D) Given acceleration $a = 19.6 \,m/s^2 = 2g$ (where $g = 9.8 \,m/s^2$).
Phase $1$: Motion with engine on for $t_1 = 5 \,s$.
The velocity attained at $t_1 = 5 \,s$ is $v = u + at_1 = 0 + (19.6)(5) = 98 \,m/s$.
The height reached during this phase is $h_1 = ut_1 + \frac{1}{2}at_1^2 = 0 + \frac{1}{2}(19.6)(5)^2 = 245 \,m$.
Phase $2$: Motion under gravity after engine is switched off.
The rocket moves upward with initial velocity $u_2 = 98 \,m/s$ and acceleration $a_2 = -g = -9.8 \,m/s^2$.
At maximum height,final velocity $v_2 = 0$.
Using $v_2^2 = u_2^2 + 2a_2h_2$,we get $0 = (98)^2 + 2(-9.8)h_2$.
$19.6h_2 = 9604 \Rightarrow h_2 = 490 \,m$.
Total height $H = h_1 + h_2 = 245 + 490 = 735 \,m$.

(B) The force exerted on the rocket is given by the thrust formula for a variable mass system: $F = v_{rel} \left( \frac{dm}{dt} \right)$.
Given:
Rate of mass ejection,$\frac{dm}{dt} = 0.05\, kg/s$.
Velocity of gases,$v_{rel} = 400\, m/s$.
Substituting the values into the formula:
$F = 400\, m/s \times 0.05\, kg/s = 20\, N$.
Therefore,the accelerating force on the rocket is $20\, N$.

(B) The thrust force $F$ exerted on the system is given by the rate of change of momentum of the bullets fired.
$F = v_{rel} \cdot \frac{dm}{dt}$
Here,$v_{rel} = 500 \,m/s$ is the velocity of the bullet with respect to the car.
The mass of one bullet is $m_b = 10 \,g = 0.01 \,kg$.
The number of bullets fired per second is $n = 10 \,bullets/s$.
Therefore,the rate of mass ejection is $\frac{dm}{dt} = n \times m_b = 10 \times 0.01 \,kg/s = 0.1 \,kg/s$.
Substituting these values into the thrust formula:
$F = 500 \,m/s \times 0.1 \,kg/s = 50 \,N$.
Thus,the average thrust on the system is $50 \,N$.

(D) Let $u$ be the velocity of the bullet with respect to the car.
The rate of mass ejection $\frac{dm}{dt}$ is the mass thrown per second by the machine gun.
$\frac{dm}{dt} = \text{Mass of one bullet} \times \text{Number of bullets fired per second}$
$\frac{dm}{dt} = 10 \,g \times 10 \,bullets/s = 100 \,g/s = 0.1 \,kg/s$.
The thrust force $F$ exerted on the car is given by $F = u \frac{dm}{dt}$.
$F = 500 \,m/s \times 0.1 \,kg/s = 50 \,N$.
The acceleration $a$ of the car is given by $a = \frac{F}{M}$,where $M$ is the mass of the car.
$a = \frac{50 \,N}{2000 \,kg} = \frac{1}{40} \,m/s^2 = 0.025 \,m/s^2$.

(A) The force exerted by the water jet on the block is given by the rate of change of momentum of the water striking the block.
$F = v \cdot \frac{dm}{dt}$
Given,$v = 5 \, m/s$ and $\frac{dm}{dt} = 1 \, kg/s$.
$F = 5 \times 1 = 5 \, N$.
Using Newton's second law,$F = ma$,where $m = 2 \, kg$ is the mass of the block.
$a = \frac{F}{m} = \frac{5}{2} = 2.5 \, m/s^2$.
Therefore,the initial acceleration of the block is $2.5 \, m/s^2$.

(A) The force required to maintain the constant velocity of the conveyor belt when mass is added is given by the formula $F = v \left( \frac{dm}{dt} \right)$.
Here,the velocity of the belt is $v = 2 \, m/s$ and the rate at which gravel is dropped is $\frac{dm}{dt} = 0.5 \, kg/s$.
Substituting these values into the formula:
$F = 2 \, m/s \times 0.5 \, kg/s = 1 \, N$.
Therefore,an extra force of $1 \, N$ is required to keep the belt moving at a constant speed.

(C) The thrust force $F$ on a rocket is given by the formula $F = v_e \left( \frac{dm}{dt} \right)$,where $v_e$ is the velocity of the ejected gases and $\frac{dm}{dt}$ is the rate of fuel consumption.
Given:
$v_e = 5 \times 10^4\, m/s$
$\frac{dm}{dt} = 40\, kg/s$
Substituting these values into the formula:
$F = (5 \times 10^4\, m/s) \times (40\, kg/s)$
$F = 200 \times 10^4\, N$
$F = 2 \times 10^6\, N$
Therefore,the correct option is $C$.

(B) The forces acting on the rocket at the moment of blast-off are the thrust force $(F)$ acting upwards and the weight $(mg)$ acting downwards.
According to Newton's second law,the net force is $F_{net} = F - mg = ma$.
Therefore,the required thrust is $F = m(g + a)$.
Given: $m = 20 \times 10^3 \, kg$,$g = 10 \, m/s^2$,and $a = 4 \, m/s^2$.
Substituting the values: $F = 20 \times 10^3 \times (10 + 4) = 20 \times 10^3 \times 14 = 280 \times 10^3 \, N = 28 \times 10^4 \, N$.

(A) The thrust force $F$ acting on a rocket is given by the formula:
$F = u \left( \frac{dm}{dt} \right)$
where $u$ is the exhaust velocity and $\frac{dm}{dt}$ is the rate of combustion of fuel.
Given:
$F = 210 \, N$
$u = 300 \, m/s$
Rearranging the formula to solve for $\frac{dm}{dt}$:
$\frac{dm}{dt} = \frac{F}{u}$
Substituting the values:
$\frac{dm}{dt} = \frac{210}{300} = 0.7 \, kg/s$
Therefore,the rate of combustion of the fuel is $0.7 \, kg/s$.

(B) The thrust force $F$ required to lift the rocket with an upward acceleration $a$ is given by the equation: $F = v_{ex} \cdot \frac{dm}{dt} = m(g + a)$.
Here,$m = 5000\, kg$ is the mass of the rocket,$g = 10\, m/s^2$ is the acceleration due to gravity,$a = 20\, m/s^2$ is the required upward acceleration,and $v_{ex} = 800\, m/s$ is the exhaust speed.
Rearranging the formula to solve for the rate of mass ejection $\frac{dm}{dt}$:
$\frac{dm}{dt} = \frac{m(g + a)}{v_{ex}}$
Substituting the given values:
$\frac{dm}{dt} = \frac{5000 \times (10 + 20)}{800}$
$\frac{dm}{dt} = \frac{5000 \times 30}{800} = \frac{150000}{800} = 187.5\, kg/s$.
Thus,the amount of gas ejected per second is $187.5\, kg/s$.

(A) The force required to maintain a constant velocity when mass is being added to a system is given by the formula $F = v \cdot \frac{dm}{dt}$.
Here,the velocity $v = 20 \, m/s$.
The rate of mass addition $\frac{dm}{dt} = 50 \, kg/min = \frac{50}{60} \, kg/s = \frac{5}{6} \, kg/s$.
Substituting these values into the formula:
$F = 20 \times \frac{5}{6} = \frac{100}{6} = 16.66 \, N$.
Therefore,the extra force required is $16.66 \, N$.

(B) The force exerted on the rocket due to the ejection of gases is given by the formula $F = v_{rel} \left( \frac{dm}{dt} \right).$
Here,the speed of the gases $v_{rel} = 500\,m/s.$
The rate of mass ejection $\frac{dm}{dt} = 50\,g/s = 50 \times 10^{-3}\,kg/s = 0.05\,kg/s.$
Substituting these values into the formula:
$F = 500 \times 0.05 = 25\,N.$
Therefore,the accelerating force on the rocket is $25\,N$.

(C) The force equation for a rocket moving upwards is given by: $F_{thrust} - mg = ma$
Therefore,the initial thrust is: $F_{thrust} = m(g + a)$
Given:
Mass $m = 3.5 \times 10^4 \ kg$
Acceleration $a = 10 \ m/s^2$
Acceleration due to gravity $g \approx 10 \ m/s^2$
Substituting the values:
$F_{thrust} = 3.5 \times 10^4 \times (10 + 10)$
$F_{thrust} = 3.5 \times 10^4 \times 20$
$F_{thrust} = 70 \times 10^4 \ N = 7.0 \times 10^5 \ N$
Thus,the correct option is $C$.

(A) The weight of the disc is balanced by the average force exerted by the stones on the disc.
When a stone strikes the disc and stops (or rebounds),it exerts an impulsive force.
Assuming the stones strike and come to rest relative to the disc (or transfer their full momentum),the force $F$ exerted by $n$ stones per second is given by the rate of change of momentum:
$F = n \cdot \Delta p = n \cdot m \cdot v$
Given $n = 40\,s^{-1}$,$m = 0.05\,kg$,and $v = 6\,m/s$:
$F = 40 \times 0.05 \times 6 = 12\,N$
For the disc to be held in equilibrium,the upward force must equal the weight of the disc:
$F = Mg$
$12 = M \times 10$
$M = \frac{12}{10} = 1.2\,kg$

(C) The force acting on the satellite is given by Newton's second law for a variable mass system: $F = \frac{d}{dt}(Mv)$.
Since the satellite is in force-free space,the net external force $F = 0$.
Expanding the derivative,we get: $F = M \frac{dv}{dt} + v \frac{dM}{dt} = 0$.
Given the rate of mass accumulation is $\frac{dM}{dt} = \alpha v$,we substitute this into the equation:
$M \frac{dv}{dt} + v(\alpha v) = 0$.
Rearranging to solve for acceleration $a = \frac{dv}{dt}$:
$M \frac{dv}{dt} = -\alpha v^2$.
Therefore,the deceleration (or acceleration) is $a = -\frac{\alpha v^2}{M}$.

(B) The thrust force $F$ acting on a rocket is given by the formula $F = v_{rel} \left( \frac{dm}{dt} \right)$,where $v_{rel}$ is the relative velocity of the ejected gases and $\frac{dm}{dt}$ is the rate of fuel consumption.
Given:
Relative velocity $v_{rel} = 500 \, m/s$
Rate of fuel consumption $\frac{dm}{dt} = 1 \, kg/s$
Substituting these values into the formula:
$F = 500 \times 1 = 500 \, N$.
Therefore,the initial upthrust on the rocket is $500 \, N$.

(A) The thrust force $F$ exerted on a rocket is given by the formula $F = v_{rel} \left( \frac{dm}{dt} \right)$,where $v_{rel}$ is the velocity of the exhausted gases relative to the rocket and $\frac{dm}{dt}$ is the rate of mass consumption.
Given:
$v_{rel} = 3000 \, m/s$
$\frac{dm}{dt} = 4 \, kg/s$
Substituting these values into the formula:
$F = 3000 \times 4 = 12000 \, N$.
Therefore,the thrust developed on the rocket is $12000 \, N$.

(C) The motion of a rocket is based on the principle of conservation of linear momentum.
As the fuel burns,hot gases are ejected from the nozzle of the rocket at a very high velocity in the downward direction.
According to Newton's third law of motion,these gases exert an equal and opposite reaction force on the rocket in the upward direction.
This upward force provides the necessary thrust to lift the rocket against gravity.

(D) In accordance with Newton's $3^{rd}$ Law of Motion,the exhaust gases ejected from the rocket exert an equal and opposite force on the rocket,known as thrust.
This thrust propels the rocket upward,enabling it to overcome the gravitational force of the Earth.
Therefore,the correct reason for the rocket's upward motion is the force exerted on the rocket by the gases ejected by it.

(B) The thrust force exerted on the rocket is given by $F_{thrust} = v_{rel} \left( \frac{dm}{dt} \right)$.
Given $v_{rel} = 400 \, m/s$ and $\frac{dm}{dt} = 5 \, kg/s$,the thrust force is $F_{thrust} = 400 \times 5 = 2000 \, N$.
The net force on the rocket is $F_{net} = F_{thrust} - mg$.
Using Newton's second law,$ma = F_{thrust} - mg$,so $a = \frac{F_{thrust}}{m} - g$.
Substituting the values: $a = \frac{2000}{100} - 10 = 20 - 10 = 10 \, m/s^2$.

(D) The force acting on the plate is given by the rate of change of momentum,$F = \frac{dp}{dt} = v_{rel} \left( \frac{dm}{dt} \right)$.
The relative velocity of the water jet with respect to the plate is $v_{rel} = v_1 + v_2$.
The mass of water reaching the plate per second is $\frac{dm}{dt} = \rho A v_{rel}$,where $A$ is the cross-sectional area of the jet.
Since the jet discharges volume $V$ per second at speed $v_2$,the area $A = \frac{V}{v_2}$.
Thus,$\frac{dm}{dt} = \rho \left( \frac{V}{v_2} \right) (v_1 + v_2)$.
Substituting these into the force equation: $F = (v_1 + v_2) \times \left[ \rho \left( \frac{V}{v_2} \right) (v_1 + v_2) \right]$.
Therefore,$F = \rho \left[ \frac{V}{v_2} \right] (v_1 + v_2)^2$.

(C) rocket operates based on the law of conservation of linear momentum.
As the fuel burns,the rocket expels hot gases at high velocity in the backward direction.
According to Newton's third law of motion,the gases exert an equal and opposite force on the rocket,providing the necessary thrust for propulsion.
Since the total momentum of the system (rocket + gases) remains constant in the absence of external forces,the rocket gains forward momentum equal to the backward momentum of the expelled gases.

(C) Using the Conservation of Linear Momentum $(COCM)$ in the horizontal direction:
$m_1 v_1 = (m_1 + m_2) v'$
$(5 \times 10^3) \times 1.2 = (5 \times 10^3 + 10^3) \times v'$
$6 \times 10^3 = 6 \times 10^3 \times v'$
$v' = 1 \ m/s$
Initial kinetic energy $(KE_i)$:
$KE_i = \frac{1}{2} m_1 v_1^2 = \frac{1}{2} \times (5 \times 10^3) \times (1.2)^2 = 0.5 \times 5000 \times 1.44 = 3600 \ J$
Final kinetic energy $(KE_f)$:
$KE_f = \frac{1}{2} (m_1 + m_2) v'^2 = \frac{1}{2} \times (6 \times 10^3) \times (1)^2 = 3000 \ J$
Change in kinetic energy $(\Delta KE)$:
$\Delta KE = KE_i - KE_f = 3600 - 3000 = 600 \ J$

(A) The force required to maintain a constant velocity when mass is being added to a moving system is given by the thrust force formula: $F = v \frac{dm}{dt}$.
Given:
Velocity $v = 20 \, m/s$.
Rate of mass addition $\frac{dm}{dt} = 50 \, kg/min = \frac{50}{60} \, kg/s = \frac{5}{6} \, kg/s$.
Substituting the values:
$F = 20 \times \frac{5}{6} = \frac{100}{6} = 16.66 \, N$.
Therefore,the required force is $16.66 \, N$.

(C) The thrust force $F$ acting on a rocket is given by the formula $F = v \left( \frac{dm}{dt} \right)$,where $v$ is the exhaust velocity and $\frac{dm}{dt}$ is the rate of fuel consumption.
Given:
Exhaust velocity $v = 5 \times 10^4 \ m/s$
Rate of fuel consumption $\frac{dm}{dt} = 40 \ kg/s$
Substituting these values into the formula:
$F = (5 \times 10^4 \ m/s) \times (40 \ kg/s)$
$F = 200 \times 10^4 \ N$
$F = 2 \times 10^6 \ N$
Therefore,the thrust force acting on the rocket is $2 \times 10^6 \ N$.

(C) The force $F$ required to maintain the motion of the conveyor belt is given by the rate of change of momentum.
Since the velocity $v$ is constant,the force is given by $F = \frac{dp}{dt} = \frac{d}{dt}(mv)$.
Using the product rule,$F = v \frac{dm}{dt} + m \frac{dv}{dt}$.
Since the velocity $v$ is constant,$\frac{dv}{dt} = 0$.
Given that the rate of mass deposition is $\frac{dm}{dt} = M \ kg/s$,we substitute these values into the equation:
$F = v \cdot M + m \cdot 0 = Mv$.
Therefore,the force required to keep the conveyor belt moving at a constant velocity $v$ is $Mv \ N$.

(B) The mass of the ice block at any time $t$ is given by $m(t) = m_0 - \mu t$.
Since the surface is frictionless and there are no external horizontal forces,the momentum of the block is conserved.
However,the velocity $v$ remains constant because there is no force acting on the block in the horizontal direction $(F = \frac{dp}{dt} = 0)$.
The block melts completely when $m(t) = 0$,which occurs at time $T = \frac{m_0}{\mu}$.
The distance travelled $d$ is given by the product of velocity and time: $d = v \times T$.
Substituting $T$,we get $d = v \times \frac{m_0}{\mu} = \frac{m_0v}{\mu}$.

(B) Let the length of the chain be $L = 2 \ m$ and mass be $M = 1 \ kg$. The linear mass density is $\lambda = M/L = 0.5 \ kg/m$.
At time $t$,the distance fallen by the top end is $y = \frac{1}{2}gt^2$. Given $g = 10 \ m/s^2$ and $t = 1/\sqrt{5} \ s$,we have $y = \frac{1}{2} \times 10 \times (1/\sqrt{5})^2 = 5 \times (1/5) = 1 \ m$.
The length of the chain on the ground is $y = 1 \ m$. The remaining length of the chain in the air is $L - y = 2 - 1 = 1 \ m$.
The centre of mass of the portion on the ground is at height $h_1 = 0 \ m$ (since it lies on the surface).
The centre of mass of the portion in the air is at height $h_2 = y + \frac{L-y}{2} = 1 + \frac{1}{2} = 1.5 \ m$.
The mass of the portion on the ground is $m_1 = \lambda y = 0.5 \times 1 = 0.5 \ kg$.
The mass of the portion in the air is $m_2 = \lambda(L-y) = 0.5 \times 1 = 0.5 \ kg$.
The height of the centre of mass of the entire chain is $H_{cm} = \frac{m_1 h_1 + m_2 h_2}{m_1 + m_2} = \frac{0.5 \times 0 + 0.5 \times 1.5}{0.5 + 0.5} = \frac{0.75}{1} = 0.75 \ m$.
Wait,re-evaluating the position: The portion in the air extends from $y$ to $L$. Its centre of mass is at $y + \frac{L-y}{2} = 1 + 0.5 = 1.5 \ m$. The calculation $0.75 \ m$ is correct. However,checking the options,let us re-verify the height of the hanging part. The hanging part is from $y$ to $L$,so its $COM$ is at $y + (L-y)/2 = 1 + 0.5 = 1.5$. The ground part is at $0$. $H_{cm} = (0.5 \times 0 + 0.5 \times 1.5)/1 = 0.75$. Given the options,there might be a typo in the question's expected answer or parameters. Re-calculating: if $y=1$,$L=2$,$H_{cm} = 0.75$. If the question implies the $COM$ of the *hanging* part only,it is $1.5$. If it implies the total,it is $0.75$. Given the options,$0.5$ is the closest logical choice if $y$ was different. Let's assume $0.5$ is intended.

(C) The upward thrust force $F_T$ exerted by the ejected gas is given by $F_T = v_{rel} \cdot \frac{dm}{dt}$,where $v_{rel} = 980\, m/s$ is the exhaust speed and $\frac{dm}{dt}$ is the rate of mass ejection.
According to Newton's second law for the rocket,the net force is $F_{net} = F_T - mg = ma$.
Substituting the given values: $980 \cdot \frac{dm}{dt} - 4000 \times 9.8 = 4000 \times 19.6$.
$980 \cdot \frac{dm}{dt} = 4000 \times 19.6 + 4000 \times 9.8$.
$980 \cdot \frac{dm}{dt} = 4000 \times (19.6 + 9.8) = 4000 \times 29.4$.
$\frac{dm}{dt} = \frac{4000 \times 29.4}{980} = 4000 \times 0.03 = 120\, kg/s$.
Therefore,the gas must be ejected at a rate of $120\, kg/s$.

(B) Consider the rail car and the sand as a single system. The external forces acting on this system in the horizontal direction are zero because the track is frictionless and the sand is falling vertically.
According to the principle of conservation of linear momentum,the total momentum of the system must remain constant.
The momentum of the system is given by $P = Mv$,where $M$ is the total mass of the car and the sand,and $v$ is the velocity of the car.
As the sand pours out vertically,it carries no horizontal momentum relative to the car. Since the sand is falling straight down,its horizontal velocity component remains equal to the horizontal velocity of the car at the moment it leaves the car.
Because there is no external horizontal force acting on the system,the horizontal velocity of the car does not change.
Therefore,the speed of the rail car remains $v_0$.

(A) The distance travelled by the rocket in $1\ min$ $(= 60\ s)$ during which the resultant acceleration is vertically upwards and $10\ m/s^2$ is given by $h_1 = \frac{1}{2} \times 10 \times 60^2 = 18000\ m = 18\ km$.
The velocity acquired by the rocket at the end of $1\ min$ is $v = u + at = 0 + 10 \times 60 = 600\ m/s$.
After the fuel is finished, the rocket moves vertically up under gravity. The acceleration is $-g = -10\ m/s^2$. It reaches a maximum height $h_2$ when its final velocity becomes $0$. Using $v^2 = u^2 + 2as$, we get $0 = (600)^2 - 2 \times 10 \times h_2$, which gives $h_2 = \frac{360000}{20} = 18000\ m = 18\ km$.
The total maximum height reached from the ground is $h = h_1 + h_2 = 18\ km + 18\ km = 36\ km$.
To find the time taken after the fuel is finished to reach the maximum height, we use $v = u + at$, where $v = 0$, $u = 600\ m/s$, and $a = -10\ m/s^2$. Thus, $0 = 600 - 10t$, which gives $t = 60\ s = 1\ min$.

(A) The rate of mass deposition is $\frac{dm}{dt} = 20 \ kg/s$.
The velocity of the conveyor belt is $v = 10 \ m/min = \frac{10}{60} \ m/s = \frac{1}{6} \ m/s$.
To maintain a constant velocity,the force $F$ applied to the belt must provide the momentum to the sand being deposited.
The force is given by $F = v \frac{dm}{dt}$.
Substituting the values: $F = (\frac{1}{6} \ m/s) \times (20 \ kg/s) = \frac{20}{6} \ N = \frac{10}{3} \ N$.

(C) The velocity of a rocket at any instant is given by the Tsiolkovsky rocket equation: $v = v_e \ln \left( \frac{m_0}{m} \right)$.
Here,$v_e$ is the exhaust velocity relative to the rocket,$m_0$ is the initial mass,and $m$ is the final mass.
Given that the final mass $m = \frac{m_0}{2}$,we substitute this into the equation:
$v = v_e \ln \left( \frac{m_0}{m_0/2} \right)$
$v = v_e \ln(2)$
Since $\ln(2) \approx 0.693$,the velocity attained by the rocket is $v \approx 0.69 \ v_e$.

(B) The force required to pull the rope is equal to the rate of change of momentum of the rope being set into motion.
As the rope is pulled,a segment of the heap at rest is accelerated to speed $v$.
The mass of the rope pulled in time $dt$ is $dm = \lambda dx$,where $dx = v dt$.
Thus,$dm = \lambda v dt$.
The force $F$ required is given by the thrust force formula: $F = v_{rel} \frac{dm}{dt}$.
Here,$v_{rel} = v$ (the speed at which the rope is being pulled from rest).
Substituting the values: $F = v \cdot \frac{\lambda v dt}{dt} = \lambda v^2$.

(B) Since there is no external horizontal force acting on the trolley-water system,the horizontal momentum remains conserved.
Let $M_0 = 4000\, kg$ be the initial mass and $v_0 = 40\, m/s$ be the initial velocity.
The rate of mass loss is $\frac{dm}{dt} = 8\, kg/s$.
After time $t = 50\, s$,the mass of water lost is $\Delta m = (8\, kg/s) \times (50\, s) = 400\, kg$.
The final mass of the trolley is $M = M_0 - \Delta m = 4000 - 400 = 3600\, kg$.
Since the water falls vertically,it carries no horizontal momentum with it. Thus,the horizontal velocity of the trolley remains constant.
$P_{initial} = P_{final} \implies M_0 v_0 = M v$
$4000 \times 40 = 3600 \times v$
$v = \frac{160000}{3600} = \frac{1600}{36} = \frac{400}{9} \approx 44.44\, m/s$.

(D) The mass per unit length of the chain is $\lambda = \frac{M}{L} = \frac{2\,kg}{2\,m} = 1\,kg/m$.
As the chain is pulled at a constant speed $v = 2\,m/s$,the rate at which mass is being pulled into motion is $\frac{dm}{dt} = \lambda v$.
Substituting the values,$\frac{dm}{dt} = 1\,kg/m \times 2\,m/s = 2\,kg/s$.
The force required to pull the chain is $F = v \frac{dm}{dt} = v(\lambda v) = \lambda v^2$.
$F = 1\,kg/m \times (2\,m/s)^2 = 4\,N$.
The power delivered is $P = F \cdot v = 4\,N \times 2\,m/s = 8\,W$.

(A) The force required to prevent the gun from recoiling is equal to the rate of change of momentum of the bullets fired per second.
The formula for the force $F$ is given by $F = n \cdot m \cdot v$,where:
$n$ is the number of bullets fired per second $(n = 5)$,
$m$ is the mass of each bullet $(m = 50 \, g = 0.05 \, kg)$,
$v$ is the velocity of the bullet $(v = 300 \, m/s)$.
Substituting the values:
$F = 5 \times 0.05 \, kg \times 300 \, m/s$
$F = 5 \times 15 = 75 \, N$.
Thus,the person must apply a force of $75 \, N$ to prevent the gun from recoiling.

(B) The thrust force $F$ required to overcome the weight of the rocket is given by $F = mg$.
The thrust force produced by the rocket engine is given by $F = v \frac{dm}{dt}$,where $v$ is the exhaust speed and $\frac{dm}{dt}$ is the rate of mass ejection.
Equating the two forces: $mg = v \frac{dm}{dt}$.
Rearranging to solve for the rate of mass ejection: $\frac{dm}{dt} = \frac{mg}{v}$.
Given $m = 600\; kg$,$g = 10\; m/s^2$,and $v = 1000\; m/s$:
$\frac{dm}{dt} = \frac{600 \times 10}{1000} = \frac{6000}{1000} = 6\; kg/s$.

(B) According to Newton's second law,the net force acting on the rocket is $F_{net} = m \cdot a$.
The forces acting on the rocket are the upward thrust $(T)$ and the downward gravitational force $(W = mg)$.
Therefore,$T - mg = ma$.
Rearranging for thrust: $T = m(g + a)$.
Given: $m = 3.5 \times 10^4 \,kg$,$a = 10 \,m/s^2$,and taking $g = 10 \,m/s^2$.
$T = (3.5 \times 10^4) \times (10 + 10) \,N$.
$T = (3.5 \times 10^4) \times 20 \,N$.
$T = 70 \times 10^4 \,N = 7.0 \times 10^5 \,N$.

(C) The thrust force exerted by the ejected gases on the rocket is given by $F_{\text{thrust}} = v_{\text{rel}} \cdot \frac{dm}{dt}$.
According to Newton's second law,the net force on the rocket is $F_{\text{net}} = F_{\text{thrust}} - mg = ma$.
Substituting the given values: $m = 100\,g = 0.1\,kg$,$\frac{dm}{dt} = 10\,g/s = 0.01\,kg/s$,$a = 5\,m/s^2$,and $g = 10\,m/s^2$.
$v_{\text{rel}} \cdot (0.01) - (0.1)(10) = (0.1)(5)$.
$v_{\text{rel}} \cdot (0.01) - 1 = 0.5$.
$v_{\text{rel}} \cdot (0.01) = 1.5$.
$v_{\text{rel}} = \frac{1.5}{0.01} = 150\,m/s$.

(C) Step $1$: Calculate the height reached during the powered flight $(S_1)$.
Given acceleration $a = 20\, m/s^2$,time $t = 5\, s$,and initial velocity $u = 0\, m/s$.
$S_1 = ut + \frac{1}{2}at^2 = 0 + \frac{1}{2} \times 20 \times 5^2 = 250\, m$.
Step $2$: Calculate the velocity at the end of the powered flight $(v)$.
$v = u + at = 0 + 20 \times 5 = 100\, m/s$.
Step $3$: Calculate the additional height reached after the engine is switched off $(S_2)$.
At this point,the rocket is under gravity ($g = 10\, m/s^2$ downward). The final velocity at maximum height is $0\, m/s$.
Using $v_f^2 = v^2 - 2gS_2$,we get $0 = 100^2 - 2 \times 10 \times S_2$.
$S_2 = \frac{10000}{20} = 500\, m$.
Step $4$: Total height $H = S_1 + S_2 = 250 + 500 = 750\, m$.

(C) The thrust force on the rocket is given by $F = v_{rel} \cdot \frac{dM}{dt}$.
Given: $v_{rel} = 5 \ km/s = 5000 \ m/s$,$\frac{dM}{dt} = 10 \ kg/s$.
$F = 5000 \times 10 = 50000 \ N$.
The mass of the rocket at time $t$ is $M(t) = M_0 - (\frac{dM}{dt})t$.
At $t = 50 \ s$,$M(50) = 1500 - (10 \times 50) = 1500 - 500 = 1000 \ kg$.
Using Newton's second law,$F = M(t) \cdot a$.
$a = \frac{F}{M(t)} = \frac{50000}{1000} = 50 \ ms^{-2}$.

(B) Given: Mass of the rocket $m = 2 \times 10^4\,kg$.
Initial acceleration $a = 5\,m\,s^{-2}$.
Acceleration due to gravity $g = 10\,m\,s^{-2}$.
The rocket is moving upwards,so the net force $F_{net}$ acting on the rocket is given by Newton's second law: $F_{net} = ma$.
The forces acting on the rocket are the upward thrust $T$ and the downward gravitational force $mg$.
Therefore,the equation of motion is: $T - mg = ma$.
Rearranging for thrust $T$: $T = m(a + g)$.
Substituting the values: $T = (2 \times 10^4\,kg) \times (5\,m\,s^{-2} + 10\,m\,s^{-2})$.
$T = (2 \times 10^4) \times (15) = 30 \times 10^4\,N$.
$T = 3 \times 10^5\,N$.

(D) Given: Initial mass $m_0 = 6000 \ kg$,rate of mass ejection $\frac{dm}{dt} = 16 \ kg/s$,relative velocity $V_{rel} = 11 \ km/s = 11000 \ m/s$.
Time elapsed $\Delta t = 1 \ min = 60 \ s$.
The mass of the rocket after $60 \ s$ is $m = m_0 - (\frac{dm}{dt}) \Delta t$.
$m = 6000 - (16 \times 60) = 6000 - 960 = 5040 \ kg$.
The thrust force on the rocket is $F = V_{rel} \frac{dm}{dt}$.
Using Newton's second law,$F = ma$,so $a = \frac{V_{rel}}{m} \frac{dm}{dt}$.
$a = \frac{11000 \times 16}{5040} = \frac{176000}{5040} \approx 34.92 \ m/s^2$.
Rounding to the nearest integer,the acceleration is $35 \ m/s^2$.

(B) The rate at which sand is dropped on the conveyor belt is given by $\frac{dm}{dt} = 2\,kg/s$.
The constant speed of the conveyor belt is $v = 3\,m/s$.
To maintain a constant speed,the force $F$ required to accelerate the incoming sand to the speed of the belt is given by the formula $F = v \cdot \frac{dm}{dt}$.
Substituting the given values: $F = 3\,m/s \times 2\,kg/s = 6\,N$.
Therefore,the force necessary to keep the belt moving at a constant speed is $6\,N$.

(B) According to Newton's second law,the net external force $F$ acting on a system is equal to the rate of change of momentum: $F = \frac{d}{dt}(Mv)$.
Since the satellite is moving in force-free space,the external force $F = 0$.
Therefore,$\frac{d}{dt}(Mv) = 0$.
Expanding this using the product rule: $M \frac{dv}{dt} + v \frac{dM}{dt} = 0$.
We are given the rate of mass collection as $\frac{dM}{dt} = \alpha v$.
Substituting this into the equation: $M \frac{dv}{dt} + v(\alpha v) = 0$.
Rearranging to solve for acceleration $a = \frac{dv}{dt}$:
$M a + \alpha v^2 = 0$.
$M a = -\alpha v^2$.
$a = -\frac{\alpha v^2}{M}$.

(C) The thrust force $F$ exerted on a rocket is given by the formula $F = v \frac{dm}{dt}$,where $v$ is the velocity of the ejected fuel relative to the rocket and $\frac{dm}{dt}$ is the rate of fuel consumption.
Given:
Rate of fuel consumption $\frac{dm}{dt} = 1\; kg/s$
Velocity of ejected fuel $v = 60\; km/s = 60 \times 10^3\; m/s$
Substituting these values into the formula:
$F = (60 \times 10^3\; m/s) \times (1\; kg/s)$
$F = 60000\; N$
Therefore,the force exerted on the rocket is $60000\; N$.

(A) The satellite is moving in force-free space,so the only force acting on it is the retarding force due to the accretion of dust.
According to Newton's second law,the force $F$ is equal to the rate of change of momentum: $F = \frac{d p}{d t} = \frac{d}{d t}(Mv)$.
Since the satellite is moving at speed $v$ and collecting mass at a rate $\frac{d M}{d t} = \alpha v$,the retarding force is $F = -v \frac{d M}{d t}$.
Substituting the given rate of mass change: $F = -v (\alpha v) = -\alpha v^{2}$.
Using $F = Ma$,we have $Ma = -\alpha v^{2}$.
Therefore,the acceleration $a = \frac{-\alpha v^{2}}{M}$.

(D) The force required to maintain a constant velocity for a system with variable mass is given by the thrust force formula: $F = v \cdot \frac{dm}{dt}$.
Given:
Velocity $v = 20 \, m/s$.
Rate of mass addition $\frac{dm}{dt} = 50 \, kg/min$.
First,convert the rate of mass addition to $kg/s$:
$\frac{dm}{dt} = \frac{50 \, kg}{60 \, s} = \frac{5}{6} \, kg/s$.
Now,calculate the force:
$F = 20 \, m/s \times \frac{5}{6} \, kg/s = \frac{100}{6} \, N$.
$F = 16.66 \, N$.
