An astronaut floating freely in space decides to use his flash light as a rocket. He shines a $10$ watt light beam in a fixed direction so that he acquires momentum in the opposite direction. If his mass is $80$ kg, how long must he need to reach a velocity of $1$ $ms^{-1}$

  • A

    $9$ sec

  • B

    $2.4 \times  10^3\, sec$

  • C

    $2.4 \times 10^6 \,sec$

  • D

    $2.4 \times 10^9\,sec$
