JEE Advanced · Physics · 5. Laws of Motion

A particle of mass m is initially at rest at the origin. It is subjected to a force and starts moving along the x - axis. Its kinetic energy changes with time as dK/dt=γt, where γ is a positive constant of appropriate dimensions. Which of the following statements is (are) true?

  1. A The force applied on the particle is constant
  2. B The speed of the particle is proportional to time
  3. C The distance of the particle from the origin increases linearly with time
  4. D Since force is constant, it is conservative.
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) The force applied on the particle is constant

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given the change in kinetic energydkdt=γt. Kinetic energy is expressed as k=12mv2.
   dkdt=mvdvdt=γt
Integrating the above relation,
