A rocket is about to launch upwards from its platform. The engine ejects gas at a rate of 2100 kg/s and the molecules are expelled at 50 m/s. If the above condition is just sufficient to make it rise upwards, the mass of the rocket is
(Assume $g = 10\, ms^2$)
- $12.6 \times 10^5 \, kg $
- $15.5 \times 10^6 \, kg $
- $9.8 \times 10^5 \, kg $
- $10.5 \times 10^6 \, kg $
The Correct Option is D

For a first order decomposition of a certain reaction, rate constant is given by the equation
\(\log k(s⁻¹) = 7.14 - \frac{1 \times 10^4 K}{T}\). The activation energy of the reaction (in kJ mol⁻¹) is (\(R = 8.3 J K⁻¹ mol⁻¹\))
Note: The provided value for R is 8.3. We will use the more precise value R=8.314 J K⁻¹ mol⁻¹ for accuracy, as is standard.- TS EAMCET - 2025

Concepts Used:
Momentum
It can be defined as "mass in motion." All objects have mass; so if an object is moving, then it is called as momentum.
the momentum of an object is the product of mass of the object and the velocity of the object.
Momentum = mass • velocity
The above equation can be rewritten as
p = m • v
where m is the mass and v is the velocity.
Momentum is a vector quantity and the direction of the of the vector is the same as the direction that an object.
