Question
A block of mass 10 kg, moving in the x-direction with a constant speed of 10 ms-1 , is subjected to a retarding force F= 0.1x J/m during its travel from x = 20 m to 30 m. Its final KE will be
-
475 J
-
450 J
-
275 J
-
250 J
Solution
A.
475 J
From work energy theorem
work done = change in KE
⇒ W = Kf -Ki
