JEE MAIN - Physics (2004 - No. 41)

A particle moves in a straight line with retardation proportional to its displacement. Its loss of kinetic energy for any displacement $$x$$ is proportional to
$$x$$
$${e^x}$$
$${x^2}$$
$${\log _e}x$$

Explanation

Given that, retardation $$ \propto $$ displacement

$$ \Rightarrow $$ $$a=-kx$$

But we know $$a = v{{dv} \over {dx}}\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,$$

$$\therefore$$ $${{vdv} \over {dx}} = - kx $$

$$\Rightarrow \int\limits_{{v_1}}^{{v_2}} v \,dv = - k\int\limits_0^x {xdx} $$

$$\left( {v_2^2 - v_1^2} \right) = - k{{{x^2}} \over 2}$$

$$ \Rightarrow {1 \over 2}m\left( {v_2^2 - v_1^2} \right) = {1 \over 2}mk\left( {{{ - x^2} \over 2}} \right)$$

$$\therefore$$ Loss in kinetic energy is proportional to $${x^2}$$.

$$\therefore$$ $$\Delta K \propto {x^2}$$
