Work Energy And Power Ques 15

15. An object of mass $500$ $ g$, initially at rest, is acted upon by a variable force whose Xcomponent varies with $X$ in the manner shown. The velocities of the object at the points $X=8$ $m$ and $X=12 $ $m$, would have the respective values of (nearly)

(a) $18 $ $m / s$ and $20.6 $ $m / s$

(b) $18 $ $m / s$ and $24.4 $ $m / s$

(c) $23 $ $m / s$ and $24.4 $ $m / s$

(d) $23 $ $m / s$ and $20.6 $ $m / s$

Answer:

Correct Answer: 15.(d)

Solution:

  1. (d) Using work-energy theorem, $\Delta K=$ work $=$ area under $F-x$ graph

From $x=0$ to $x=8$ $ m$

$\frac{1}{2} m v^{2}=100+30$

$\therefore v=\sqrt{520}=23 $ $m / s$

From $x=0$ to $x=12$ $ m$

$\frac{1}{2} m v^{2}=100+30 -47.5+20$

$\therefore v=\sqrt{410}=20.6 $ $m / s$
