Under action of force, a \(2 \mathrm{~kg}\) body moves such that its position \(x\) as function of time \(t\) is given by \(x=\alpha t^2 / 2\), where \(x\) is in metre, \(t\) is in seconds and \(\alpha=1 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}^2\). The work done by the force in the first two seconds is

  1. A \(4 \mathrm{~J}\)
  2. B \(16 \mathrm{~J}\)
  3. C \(40 \mathrm{~J}\)
  4. D \(2 \mathrm{~J}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(4 \mathrm{~J}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given, \(x=\frac{\alpha t^2}{2}\) As we know that, \(v=\frac{d x}{d t}=\frac{d}{d t}\left(\frac{\alpha t^2}{2}\right)=\alpha t\) \(\ldots(i)\) According to work-energy theorem Work done, \(W =\frac{1}{2} m v^2=\frac{1}{2} m(\alpha t)^2 \quad \text { [using Eq. (i)] }\)…
