Laws Of Motion Question 189

Question:A block of metal weighing 2 kg is resting on a frictionless plane. It is struck by a jet releasing water at a rate of 1 kg/sec and at a speed of 5 m/sec. The initial acceleration of the block will be[MNR 1979]

Options:

A) $ 2.5m/{{\sec }^{2}} $

B) $ 5.0m/{{\sec }^{2}} $

C) $ 10m/{{\sec }^{2}} $

D) None of the above

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: A

Solution:

Force on the block F $ =u\ ( \frac{dm}{dt} )=5\times 1=5\ N $

$ \therefore$ Acceleration of block a $ $=$\frac{F}{m}$= $\frac{5}{2}$=$2.5\ m/s^{2} $
