5.Work, Energy, Power and Collision
medium
A body of mass $5\; kg$ is moving with a momentum of $10\; kg m / s$. A force of $0.2\; N$ acts on it in the direction of motion of the body for $10\; sec$. Find the increase in its kinetic energy.
A
$2.8 $
B
$3.2$
C
$3.8$
D
$4.4 $
Solution
$ {P_2} – {P_1} = F \times t$
==> ${P_2} = {P_1} + F \times t = 10 + 0.2 \times 10 = 12kg{\rm{ – }}m/s$
$E = \frac{1}{{2m}}[P_2^2 – P_1^2] = \frac{1}{{2m}}[{(12)^2} – {(10)^2}]$
$E= \frac{1}{{2 \times 5}}[144 – 100] = \frac{{44}}{{10}} = 4.4\;J$
