The kinetic energy \(\left(\mathrm{E}_{\mathrm{k}}\right)\) of a particle moving along \(X\)-axis varies with its position \((X)\) as shown in the figure. The force acting on the particle at \(X=10 \mathrm{~m}\) is

  1. A \(5 \hat{\mathrm{i} N}\)
  2. B \(0 \mathrm{~N}\)
  3. C \(97.5 \hat{\mathrm{i} N}\)
  4. D \(-5 \hat{\mathrm{i} N}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(-5 \hat{\mathrm{i} N}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\[ \frac{d k}{d x}=\frac{d\left(\frac{1}{2} m v^2\right)}{d x}=\frac{1}{2} m \not{2} v \frac{d v}{d x}=m a=F \] So, Force is slope at \(x=10 m \quad F=-\frac{20}{4}=-5 \hat{i}\)
