     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]

    A)                       \[2.5\,m/{{\sec }^{2}}\]          

    B)                           \[5.0\,m/{{\sec }^{2}}\]            

    C)                         \[10\,m/{{\sec }^{2}}\]            

    D)                           None of the above

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

                              Force on the block F \[=u\ \left( \frac{dm}{dt} \right)=5\times 1=5\ N\]             \[\therefore \] Acceleration of block a\[=\frac{F}{m}=\frac{5}{2}=2.5\ m/{{s}^{2}}\]
