A body of mass 2 kgs falls from a height of 20 m at a plane where acceleration due to gravity is10 m/s^2 velocity 15m/s then work done against air resistance

Answer»

Answer:

In this type of QUESTIONS, it's best to apply Work-Energy Theorem : It states that the work done by all the FORCES will be EQUAL to the change in KINETIC Energy of the energy.

As per Work Energy Theorem :

$work = \Delta(KE)$

$= > W_{gravity} + W_{r} = \dfrac{1}{2} m {v}^{2} - 0$

$= > mgh + W_{r} = \dfrac{1}{2} m {v}^{2} - 0$

$= > (2 \times 10 \times 20) + W_{r} = \dfrac{1}{2} \times 2 \times {(15)}^{2}$

$= > W_{r} = 225 - 400$

$= > W_{r} = - 175 \: J$

So this is the work done by resistive force air. THEREFORE the work done by operator against air resistance will be of opposite sign (i.e. positive)

So final answer is:

$\boxed{ \red{ \bold{ \huge{W_{r} = + 175 \: J }}}}$
