Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(A\) is correct and \(B\) is wrong

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\mathrm{KE}=\frac{1}{2} m v^2=\frac{1}{2} m(a t)^2=\frac{1}{2} m a^2 t^2\) Rate of change of KE, \(\frac{d K}{d t}=\frac{d}{d t}\left(\frac{1}{2} m a^2 t^2\right)=m a^2 t\) \(\therefore \quad \frac{d K}{d t} \propto t\) So, statement \(A\) is correct. When the body is at rest,…
