1.

The rate of mass of the gas emitted from the rear of a rocket is initially `0.1 kg//s`. If the speed of the gas relative to the rocket is `50 m//s` and the mass of the rocket is `2 kg` , then the acceleration of the rocket in `m//s^(2)` isA. `5`B. `5.2`C. `2.5`D. `25`

Answer» Correct Answer - C
Thrust `F = v_(r ) (dm)/(dt)`
`= 50(0.1) = 5`
`a = (F)/(m) = (5)/(2) = 2.5 m//s^(2)`
