Question

A block of metal weighing 2 &#160; kg is resting on a frictionless plane (as shown in figure). It is struck by a jet releasing water at a rate of 1 &#160; kg &#160; s - 1 and at a speed of 10 &#160; m &#160; s - 1 . Then, the initial acceleration of the block, in m &#160; s - 2 , will be

Aicharya · Accepted Answer

Let velocity of water jet be v . So, force applied is F = &#916; p &#916; t = &#8710; m v &#916; t &#8658; m a = &#8710; m v &#916; t Acceleration of block, a = 1 &#215; 10 2 a = 5 &#160; m &#160; s - 2
