Laws of Motion question

2021 · 27 Jul · Shift 2 · Q61

JEE MainPhysicsLaws of MotionMCQ+4 / −1
A particle of mass M originally at rest is subjected to a force whose direction is constant but magnitude varies with time according to the relation F=F0[1−(t−TT)2]F = {F_0}\left[ {1 - {{\left( {{{t - T} \over T}} \right)}^2}} \right]F=F0​[1−(Tt−T​)2] Where F0 and T are constants. The force acts only for the time interval 2T. The velocity v of the particle after time 2T is :
  1. A
    2F0T/M
  2. B
    F0T/2M
  3. C
    4F0T/3M

Correct answer: C

  1. Use impulse-momentum theorem

Since the particle starts from rest and the force has constant direction, the final velocity after time 2T2T2T is obtained from

Mv=∫02TF(t) dtM v = \int_0^{2T} F(t)\,dtMv=∫02T​F(t)dt

Given

F(t)=F0[1−(t−TT)2]F(t)=F_0\left[1-\left(\frac{t-T}{T}\right)^2\right]F(t)=F0​[1−(Tt−T​)2]

So,

v=1M∫02TF0[1−(t−TT)2]dtv=\frac{1}{M}\int_0^{2T} F_0\left[1-\left(\frac{t-T}{T}\right)^2\right]dtv=M1​∫02T​F0​[1−(Tt−T​)2]dt

v=F0M∫02T[1−(t−T)2T2]dtv=\frac{F_0}{M}\int_0^{2T}\left[1-\frac{(t-T)^2}{T^2}\right]dtv=MF0​​∫02T​[1−T2(t−T)2​]dt

  1. Evaluate the integral

Let

x=t−T⇒dx=dtx=t-T \Rightarrow dx=dtx=t−T⇒dx=dt

When t=0t=0t=0, x=−Tx=-Tx=−T; when t=2Tt=2Tt=2T, x=Tx=Tx=T.

Thus,

v=F0M∫−TT(1−x2T2)dxv=\frac{F_0}{M}\int_{-T}^{T}\left(1-\frac{x^2}{T^2}\right)dxv=MF0​​∫−TT​(1−T2x2​)dx

Now,

∫−TT1 dx=2T\int_{-T}^{T}1\,dx=2T∫−TT​1dx=2T

and

∫−TTx2T2dx=1T2∫−TTx2dx\int_{-T}^{T}\frac{x^2}{T^2}dx=\frac{1}{T^2}\int_{-T}^{T}x^2dx∫−TT​T2x2​dx=T21​∫−TT​x2dx

Since x2x^2x2 is even,

∫−TTx2dx=2∫0Tx2dx=2⋅T33=2T33\int_{-T}^{T}x^2dx=2\int_0^T x^2dx=2\cdot\frac{T^3}{3}=\frac{2T^3}{3}∫−TT​x2dx=2∫0T​x2dx=2⋅3T3​=32T3​

Hence,

∫−TTx2T2dx=1T2⋅2T33=2T3\int_{-T}^{T}\frac{x^2}{T^2}dx=\frac{1}{T^2}\cdot \frac{2T^3}{3}=\frac{2T}{3}∫−TT​T2x2​dx=T21​⋅32T3​=32T​

Therefore,

∫−TT(1−x2T2)dx=2T−2T3=4T3\int_{-T}^{T}\left(1-\frac{x^2}{T^2}\right)dx=2T-\frac{2T}{3}=\frac{4T}{3}∫−TT​(1−T2x2​)dx=2T−32T​=34T​

  1. Find the final velocity

v=F0M⋅4T3v=\frac{F_0}{M}\cdot \frac{4T}{3}v=MF0​​⋅34T​

v=4F0T3M\boxed{v=\frac{4F_0T}{3M}}v=3M4F0​T​​

  1. Match with options

This corresponds to:

Option C\boxed{\text{Option C}}Option C​

  1. Compare with stored correct answer

Stored correct answer: C

Our derived answer is also C, so they agree.
