A body of mass 500 g is moving with a speed of 10 m/s. A force acts on it which
makes it to move with a speed of 20 m/s. Find:
i. Change in KE
ii. Work done by the force on the body
Answers
Answer:
Explanation:
- Mass of the body (m) = 500 g = 0.5 kg
- Initial velocity (u) = 10 m/s
- Final velocity(v) = 20 m/s
- Change in K.E
- Work done by the force on the body
Change in K.E
→ First we have to find the initial and final kinetic energies.
→ The initial kinetic energy is given by
Initial K.E = 1/2 m u²
→ Substitute the data,
Initial K.E = 1/2 × 0.5 × 10 × 10
Initial K.E = 0.5 × 5 × 10
Initial K.E = 25 J
→ Hence the initial K.E of the body is 25 J
→ Now the final kinetic energy of the body is given by
Final K.E = 1/2 × m × v²
→ Substitute the data,
Final K.E = 1/2 × 0.5 × 20 × 20
Final K.E = 0.5 × 10 × 20
Final K.E = 100 J
→ Hence the final kinetic energy of the body is 100 kg m/s
→ The change in K.E is given by
Change in K.E = Final K.E - Initial K.E
Change in K.E = 100 - 25
Change in K.E = 75 J
→ Hence the change in K.E is 75 J
Work done:
→ Now we have to find the work done by the force.
→ By work energy theorem the work done is defined as the change in K.E
→ Hence,
Work done = Change in K.E
Work done = 75 J
→ Hence work done by the force is 75 J
→ The kinetic energy of a body is given by
K.E = 1/2 × m × v²
→ The potential energy of a body is given by
P.E = m g h
mass m= o.5kg
u=10m/s²
v= 20m/s²
Kinetic energy initial = 1/2mu² = 1/2×0.5×10²= 25J
Kinetic energy finally = 1/2mv²= 1/2×0.5×20²=100J
hence the change in Kinetic energy is
100J - 25J = 75J
work done = change in Kinetic energy
work done = 75J
