A particle of mass 500 gm is moving in a straight line with velocity v = b x5/2. The work done by the net force during its displacement from x = 0 to x = 4 m is : (Take b = 0.25 m$-$3/2 s$-$1).
Solution
<p>${W_{total}} = \Delta K$</p>
<p>$$ = {1 \over 2}\left( {{1 \over 2}} \right)\left[ {{{\{ b{{(4)}^{5/2}}\} }^2} - 0} \right]$$</p>
<p>$= {{{b^2}} \over 4} \times {4^5}$</p>
<p>$\Rightarrow {W_{total}} = 16\,J$</p>
