Work, Energy And Power

Question
CBSEENPH11026444

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

       Wt = P

     ΔW = P Δt

By using work-energy theorem

    12 mv2 = Pt

     v22Pm t1/2 dt

Integrating both sides

    0xdx = 2Pm 0tt1/2 dt

         x = 2Pm 23 t3/2

∴      x  ∝  t3/2

     displacement ∝ (time)3/2
