Your Ultimate Guide to JEE & NEET Question Solutions

A 10kg mass moves along $x-$axis. Its acceleration as a function of its position is shown in the figure. What is the total work done on the mass by the force as the mass moves from $x = 0$ to $x = 8\,cm$

A

$8 \times {10^{ - 2}}joules$

B

$16 \times {10^{ - 2}}joules$

C

$4 \times {10^{ - 4}}joules$

D

$1.6 \times {10^{ - 3}}joules$

A 10kg mass moves along $x-$axis. Its acceleration as a function of its position is shown in the figure. What is the total work done on the mass by the force as the mass moves from $x = 0$ to $x = 8\,cm$

Work done = Area covered in between force displacement curve and displacement axis
= Mass $\times$ Area covered in between acceleration-displacement curve and displacement axis.
= $10 \times \frac{1}{2}(8 \times {10^{ - 2}} \times 20 \times {10^{ - 2}})$
= $8 \times {10^{ - 2}}\,J$
