$A$ 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?

$A$ flexible chain of length $L = 2 \ m$ and mass $M = 1 \ kg$ is initially held in a vertical position such that its lower end just touches a horizontal surface. It is released from rest at time $t = 0$. Assuming that any part of the chain that strikes the plane immediately comes to rest and that the portion of the chain lying on the horizontal surface does not form any heap,find the height of its centre of mass above the surface at the instant $t = 1/\sqrt{5} \ s$ (before it completely comes to rest).

Sand is being poured at a rate of $50 \, kg/min$ into a train moving with a velocity of $20 \, m/s$. To maintain the constant velocity of the train,the force required is ........ $N$.

An ice block is melting at a constant rate $\left| \frac{dm}{dt} \right| = \mu$. Its initial mass is $m_0$ and it is moving with velocity $v$ on a frictionless horizontal surface. The distance travelled by it until it melts completely is:

If the force on a rocket having an exhaust velocity of $300 \, m/s$ is $210 \, N$,then the rate of combustion of the fuel is ........... $kg/s$.

$A$ rocket works on the principle of conservation of which of the following?
