Work Power and Energy 5 Question 1

3. A body of mass m=102kg is moving in a medium and experiences a frictional force F=kv2. Its initial speed is v0=10ms1. If, after 10s, its energy is 18mv02, the value of k will be

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: 3. (b)

Solution:

  1. Given, force, F=kv2

Acceleration, a=kmv2

 or dvdt=kmv2dvv2=kmdt

Now, with limits, we have

10vdvv2=km0tdt1v10v=kmt1v=0.1+ktmv=10.1+ktm=10.1+1000k12×m×v2=18×v02v=v02=510.1+1000k=51=0.5+5000kk=0.55000k=104kg/m
