A body of mass 0.25 kg travels along a straight line from \(\mathrm{x}=0\) to \(\mathrm{x}=2 \mathrm{~m}\) with a speed \(\mathrm{v}=\mathrm{k} \mathrm{x}^{3 / 2}\) where k \(=2\) SI units. The work done by the net during this displacement is

  1. A 8 J
  2. B 16 J
  3. C 32 J
  4. D 4 J
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) 4 J

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\begin{aligned} & \mathrm{W}_{\text {net }}=\Delta \mathrm{KE} \\ & =\frac{1}{2} \mathrm{mv}^2-\frac{1}{2} \mathrm{mu}^2 \\ & =\frac{1}{2} \times 0.25\left(\mathrm{k}(2)^{3 / 2}\right)^2-0 \\ & =\frac{1}{2} \times 0.25 \times 2^2 \times 2^3 \\ & =4 \mathrm{~J}\end{aligned}\)
