Work Power and Energy 1 Question 2

3. A force acts on a 2kg object, so that its position is given as a function of time as x=3t2+5. What is the work done by this force in first 5 seconds?

(a) 850J

(b) 900J

(c) 950J

(d) 875J

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: 3. (b)

Solution:

  1. Here, the displacement of an object is given by

x=(3t2+5)m

Therefore, velocity (v)=dxdt=d(3t2+5)dt

or

v=6tm/s

The work done in moving the object from t=0 to t=5s

W=x0x5Fdx

The force acting on this object is given by

F=ma=m×dvdt=m×d(6t)dt[ using (i) ]F=m×6=6m=12N

Also, x0=3t2+5=3×(0)2+5=5m

and at t=5s,

x5=3×(5)2+5=80m

Put the values in Eq. (ii),

W=12×x0x5dx=12[805]

W=12×75=900J

Alternative Method

To using work - kinetic energy theorem is,

W=ΔKE=12m(vf2vi2)=12m×(30202)=12×2×900=900J
