    A block of mass 5 kg is moving horizontally at a speed of\[1.5\text{ }m{{s}^{-1}}\]. A vertically upward force 5 N acts on it for 4 s. What will be the distance of the block from the point where the force starts acting?

    A)  2m             

    B)  6m

    C)  8m             

    D)  10m

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

     Upward acceleration\[=\frac{5}{5}=1\text{ }m/{{s}^{2}}\] Upward distance covered in 4 s \[y=\frac{1}{2}a{{t}^{2}}\] \[=\frac{1}{2}\times 1\times {{(4)}^{2}}=8\,m\] Horizontal distance covered in 4 s \[x=vt=1.5\times 4=6m\] \[\therefore \] \[s=\sqrt{{{x}^{2}}+{{y}^{2}}}=\sqrt{{{6}^{2}}+{{8}^{2}}}\] \[=\sqrt{36+64}=10\,m\]
