Your Ultimate Guide to JEE & NEET Question Solutions

The graph between the resistive force $ F$ acting on a body and the distance covered by the body is shown in the figure. The mass of the body is $25\, kg$ and initial velocity is $2\, m/s$. When the distance covered by the body is $4m$, its kinetic energy would be .............. $\mathrm{J}$

A

$50$

B

$40 $

C

$20$

D

$10$

The graph between the resistive force $ F$ acting on a body and the distance covered by the body is shown in the figure. The mass of the body is $25\, kg$ and initial velocity is $2\, m/s$. When the distance covered by the body is $4m$, its kinetic energy would be .............. $\mathrm{J}$

Initial K.E. of the body = $\frac{1}{2}m{v^2} = \frac{1}{2} \times 25 \times 4 = 50\,\,J$
Work done against resistive force
= Area between F-x graph
= $\frac{1}{2} \times 4 \times 20 = 40J$
Final K.E. = Initial K.E. -Work done against resistive force
=$50 - 40 = 10\,\,J$
