    A block of metal weighting 2 kg is resting on frictionless plane. It is struck by a jet releasing water at a rate struck by a jet releasing water at a rate of 1 kg/s and at a speed of 5 m/s. The initial acceleration of the block is :

    A)  \[\text{2}.\text{5 m}{{\text{s}}^{\text{2}}}\]    

    B)  \[\text{5m}/{{\text{s}}^{\text{2}}}\]

    C)  \[\text{1}0\text{ m}/{{\text{s}}^{\text{2}}}\]                   

    D) \[\text{5 m}/{{\text{s}}^{\text{2}}}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

       Given, Mass of metal\[(m)=2kg\] the velocity at which water struck. \[v=5\text{ }m/s\] The rate at which water struck \[\left( \frac{m}{t} \right)=1\,kg/s\] acceleration\[(a)=?\] we know, \[F=ma=m\left( \frac{v-u}{t} \right)\] \[\left( \because a=\frac{v-u}{t} \right)\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[F=\frac{mv}{t}\] (\[\because \]the metal is resting, \[u=0\]) \[\Rightarrow \] \[1\times 5=5\,N\] From equation F = ma, we get \[a=\frac{N}{m}\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[a=\frac{5}{2}=2.5\,m/{{s}^{2}}\]
