    A block of metal weighing 2 kg is resting on a frictionless plane. It is struck by a jet releasing water at the rate of \[1\text{ }kg\text{ }{{s}^{-1}}\] and at a speed of\[5\text{ }m\text{ }{{s}^{-1}}\]. The initial acceleration of the block is

    A) \[7.5\text{ }m\text{ }{{s}^{-2}}\]               

    B) \[1.25\text{ }m\text{ }{{s}^{-2}}\] 

    C) \[5\text{ }m\text{ }{{s}^{-2}}\]      

    D)        \[2.5\text{ }m\text{ }{{s}^{-2}}\]               

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    Here, \[{{m}_{b}}=2kg,\frac{{{m}_{w}}}{t}=1kg\,\,{{s}^{-1}}\] \[v=5m{{s}^{-1}},a=?\] So, \[{{F}_{b}}={{m}_{b}}a\] and \[{{F}_{w}}=\frac{{{m}_{w}}}{t}\cdot v\] Force exerted by water on the block makes it accelerate initially. Thus, \[{{F}_{b}}={{F}_{w}}\] or \[{{m}_{b}}a=\frac{{{m}_{w}}}{t}v\] Or \[a=\frac{1\times 5}{2}\] or \[a=2.5m{{s}^{-2}}\]
