Velocity-time graph for a body of mass 10 kg is shown in figure. Work-done on the body in first two seconds of the motion is : 

- A12000 J
- B12000 J
- C4500 J
- D9300 J

Correct answer: C
- Use work–energy theorem
The net work done on the body in a time interval is equal to the change in its kinetic energy:
Here, mass of the body is
- Read velocities from the velocity–time graph
From the graph, during the first two seconds:
- initial velocity at is
- final velocity at is
- Calculate change in kinetic energy
- Match with the options
Thus, the work done on the body in the first two seconds is
So the correct option is:
C:
- Compare with stored correct answer
Stored correct answer is C.
My derived answer is also C, so they agree.
