Work Power and Energy question

2020 · 5 Sep · Shift 2 · Q54

JEE MainPhysicsWork Power and EnergyNumerical+4 / −1
A body of mass 2 kg is driven by an engine delivering a constant power of 1 J/s. The body starts from rest and moves in a straight line. After 9 seconds, the body has moved a distance (in m) ‾\underline{\hspace{2cm}}​.

Correct answer: 18

  1. Given data

    • Mass of body: m=2 kgm = 2\,\text{kg}m=2kg
    • Constant power delivered: P=1 J/s=1 WP = 1\,\text{J/s} = 1\,\text{W}P=1J/s=1W
    • Initial speed: u=0u = 0u=0
    • Time: t=9 st = 9\,\text{s}t=9s
  2. Use the relation between power and kinetic energy

    Since the engine delivers constant power, P=ddt(12mv2)P = \frac{d}{dt}\left(\frac{1}{2}mv^2\right)P=dtd​(21​mv2)

    With m=2m=2m=2 kg, P=ddt(12⋅2⋅v2)=ddt(v2)P = \frac{d}{dt}\left(\frac{1}{2}\cdot 2 \cdot v^2\right) = \frac{d}{dt}(v^2)P=dtd​(21​⋅2⋅v2)=dtd​(v2)

    Given P=1P=1P=1, ddt(v2)=1\frac{d}{dt}(v^2)=1dtd​(v2)=1

    Integrating, v2=t+Cv^2 = t + Cv2=t+C

    Since the body starts from rest, at t=0t=0t=0, v=0v=0v=0, so C=0C=0C=0. Hence, v2=t⇒v=tv^2=t \quad \Rightarrow \quad v=\sqrt{t}v2=t⇒v=t​

  3. Find displacement

    Velocity is v=dxdt=tv = \frac{dx}{dt} = \sqrt{t}v=dtdx​=t​

    Therefore, dx=t dtdx = \sqrt{t}\,dtdx=t​dt

    Integrating from 000 to 999 s, x=∫09t dtx = \int_0^9 \sqrt{t}\,dtx=∫09​t​dt

    x=∫09t1/2dt=[23t3/2]09x = \int_0^9 t^{1/2} dt = \left[\frac{2}{3}t^{3/2}\right]_0^9x=∫09​t1/2dt=[32​t3/2]09​

    x=23(9)3/2x = \frac{2}{3}(9)^{3/2}x=32​(9)3/2

    Now, 93/2=(9)3=33=279^{3/2}=(\sqrt{9})^3=3^3=2793/2=(9​)3=33=27

    So, x=23×27=18 mx = \frac{2}{3}\times 27 = 18\,\text{m}x=32​×27=18m

  4. Final answer 18\boxed{18}18​

  5. Comparison with stored correct answer

    Stored correct answer = 181818

    This matches the derived answer.
