C

$6\, J$

D

$75\,J$

A force of $5\, N$ acts on a $15\, kg$ body initially at rest. The work done by the force during the first second of motion of the body is

$W = Fs = F \times \frac{1}{2}a{t^2}$ 

$\left[ {{\rm{from}}\;s = ut + \frac{1}{2}a{t^2}} \right]$ 

==> $W = F\left[ {\frac{1}{2}\left( {\frac{F}{m}} \right)\;{t^2}} \right]$

$ = \frac{{{F^2}{t^2}}}{{2m}} = \frac{{25 \times {{(1)}^2}}}{{2 \times 15}} = \frac{{25}}{{30}} = \frac{5}{6}\;J$
