  1. A Speed
  2. B Rate of change of acceleration
  3. C Kinetic energy
  4. D Rate of change of kinetic energy
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) Rate of change of kinetic energy

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

We have Power \(=\) Rate of doing work \(=\frac{d W}{d t}\) or, \(\quad P=\frac{d W}{d t}=\) rate of change in \(\mathrm{KE}\) i.e., \(\quad P=\frac{d W}{d t}=\frac{d(\mathrm{KE})}{d t}=\) constant
