A body of mass 40 Kg covers a distance of 50 m in 5s starting from rest under the influence of a force. What is the work done by the force on the body?(a) 8000 J(b) -8000 J(c) 20000 J(d) 800 JThis question was posed to me in homework.This question is from Work in portion Work, Energy and Power of Physics – Class 11

Answer»

Correct answer is (a) 8000 J

The BEST explanation: Since the distance and time TAKEN are given, we can find out the acceleration of the BODY by the second equation of motion which is 4 m/s^2. From the second law of motion, the force can be found. Force = 160 N. From the force and the displacement, the work can be found out. Work = 8000 J.
