Question
A body is moved in straight line by machine with constant power. The distance travelled by it in time duration t is proportional to
t3/2
t1/2
t2
t
Solution
A.
t3/2
P = constant
= P
ΔW = P Δt
By using work-energy theorem
v2 = t1/2 dt
Integrating both sides
t1/2 dt
x = t3/2
∴ x ∝ t3/2
displacement ∝ (time)3/2
