Answer:

Correct Answer: 1.( c )

Solution:

Formula:

Work-Energy Theorem:

$\therefore$ Work done on the particle $=$ Area under the curve $A B C$ $W=$ Area of square $A B F O+$ Area of $\triangle B C D$

  • Area of rectangle $B D E F$

$ =2 \times 2+\frac{1}{2} \times 1 \times 1+2 \times 1=6.5 \mathrm{~J} $

Now, from work-energy theorem,

$ \begin{aligned} & \Delta W=K_f-K_i \\ & \Rightarrow \quad K_f=\Delta W=6.5 \mathrm{~J} \quad\left[\because K_i=0\right] \\ & \end{aligned} $
