5.Work, Energy, Power and Collision
normal
The kinetic energy acquired by a body of mass m is travelling some distance s, starting from rest under the actions of a constant force, is directly proportional to
A
${m^0}$
B
$m$
C
${m^2}$
D
$\sqrt m $
Solution
(a)K.E. acquired by the body = work done on the body
$K.E. = \frac{1}{2}m{v^2} = Fs$i.e. it does not depend upon the mass of the body although velocity depends upon the mass
${v^2} \propto \frac{1}{m}$[If $F$ and $s$ are constant]
