A body of mass m starts moving from rest along x-axis so that its velocity varies as
v=a\sqrt s where a is a constant and s is the distance covered by the body. The total
work done by all the forces acting on them body in the first t seconds after the start of
the motion is :

  • Option 1)

    1/8 ma^{4}t^{2}

  • Option 2)

    8 ma^{4}t^{2}

  • Option 3)

    4ma^{4}t^{2}

  • Option 4)

    1/4 ma^{4}t^{2}

As we have learned

Net work done by all the forces give the change in kinetic energy -

W=\frac{1}{2}mv^{2}-\frac{1}{2}mv{_{0}}^{2}

W= k_{f}-k_{i}

- wherein

m=mass \: of\: the\: body

v_{0}= initial\: velocity

v= final\: velocity

 

 

  v=\int_{0}^{s}\frac{ds}{\sqrt{s}}=a\int_{0}^{s}dt

or 

2 \sqrt s \int_{0}^{s}= at

s= \frac{a^{2}t^{2}}{4}

\therefore v=\frac{a^{2}t}{2}

total work done = change in K.E

=1/2mv^{2}-0 =1/2m\left ( \frac{a^{2}t}{2} \right )^{2}

w= (1/8) ma^{4}t^{2}
