Correct answer: B
-
Given: A machine delivers constant power to a box moving on a horizontal straight line.
-
Use the relation between power and force: where is the pulling force and is the speed.
-
Relate force to acceleration: So,
-
Rearrange the equation:
-
Integrate using the initial condition that the box starts from rest, i.e. at :
Hence,
-
Now find displacement : Therefore,
-
Match with options: So the correct option is B.
