A body of mass acceleration uniformly from rest to in time . The instantaneous power delivered to the body as a function of time is given by
- A
- B
- C
- D
View written solutionFree
Correct answer: B
- Find the uniform acceleration
Since the body starts from rest and reaches speed in time under uniform acceleration,
- Write velocity as a function of time
For motion starting from rest with constant acceleration,
- Find instantaneous power
Instantaneous power is
Since force and velocity are in the same direction,
Substitute and :
- Match with the options
The expression obtained is
This matches Option B.
- Check other options briefly
- A: has wrong dimensions for power.
- C: also has wrong dimensions.
- D: differs by a factor of and is incorrect.
Therefore, the correct answer is B.
