A block of mass 5 kg is moving horizontally at a speed of 1.5 m/s. A perpendicular force of 5 N acts on it 4 sec. What will be the distance of the block from the point where the force started acting?

A

6m

B

8m

C

10m

D

2m

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
Horizontal distance, x = ut = 6m
Vertical distance, y = `1/2at^2`=8m [thereforea=F/M]
Two motions are in mutually perpendicular directions
Net displacement = `sqrt(6^2+8^2)` = 10m.
