  1. A 9 J
  2. B 16 J
  3. C 6 J
  4. D 3 J
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) 16 J

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given the displacement equation, s=t24 Velocity of the body, v=dsdt=t2 Acceleration of the body, a=dvdt=12 Force on the body, F=ma=8 kg×12m s-2=4 N Work done by the force in first 4 seconds, W=Force× displacementW=4×t24=t2Wt=0t=4=16 J
