The kinetic e nergy acquired by a body of mass 'M' in travelling a certain distance 'd:
starting from rest, under the action of constant force is

  1. A inversely proportional to \(\sqrt{\mathrm{M}}\).
  2. B directly proportional to M.
  3. C independent of M.
  4. D directly proportional to \(\sqrt{M}\).
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) independent of M.

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Work done by external forces \(=\) Change in kinetic energy
Since particle starts from rest, its initial Kinetic Energy is o.
Therefore, K.E.=Fd
It is given that force is constant.
We see that Kinetic energy is independent of mass.
