A force of 6 N acts horizontally on a stationary mass of 2 kg for 4 s. The K.E in joule isA) 12B) 75C) 144D) 48​

Answer»

Given :

▪ Initial velocity = zero

▪ Applied force = 6N

▪ Mass of body = 2kg

▪ Time INTERVAL = 4s

To Find :

▪ KE of body

Concept :

☞ This question is completely based on the concept of newton's second law of motion.

☞ As per this law, force is defined as the RATE of change in linear MOMENTUM.

Mathematically,

F = ΔP/Δt

☞ Momentum is defined as the product of mass and velocity.

P = m × v

☞ Formula of kinetic energy is given by

K = 1/2×mv²

Calculation :

Final velocity :

→ F = ΔP/Δt

→ F = mΔv/Δt

→ F = m(v-u)/Δt

→ 6 = 2(v-0)/4

→ v = 24/2

v = 12m/s

Kinetic energy :

→ K = 1/2×mv²

→ K = 1/2×2×(12)²

K = 144J
