JEE MAIN - Physics (2019 - 9th January Evening Slot - No. 23)

A force acts on a 2 kg object so that its position is given as a function of time as x = 3t2 + 5. What is the work done by this force in first 5 seconds ?
850 J
950 J
875 J
900 J

Explanation

Displacement,

x = 3t2 + 5

$$ \therefore $$  v = $${{dx} \over {dt}} = 6t$$

At t = 0,   velocity = 6 $$ \times $$ 0 = 0

at t = 5, velocity = 5 $$ \times $$ 6 = 30 m/s

we know from work energy theorem,

Work (W) = change in kinetic energy ($$\Delta $$K)

= $${1 \over 2}mv_F^2 - {1 \over 2}mv_i^2$$

= $${1 \over 2}$$ $$ \times $$ 2 $$ \times $$ (30)2 $$-$$ 0

= 900 J
