In outer space, where gravity is zero, a rocket is ejecting gases with a relative velocity of 250 m/s when its total mass is 1500 kg and acceleration of the rocket is found to be 0.5   m/s2.Then rate of fuel consumption of the rocket is

a
10 kg/sec
b
5 kg/sec
c
1.5 kg/s
d
3 kg/sec

detailed solution

Correct option is D

(4)Thrust force : generated = 1500 x 0.5 N = 750 N∴    dmdt  ×   250=750  ⇒   dmdt=3  kg/sec.
