Question:

A block of mass 1 kg moving with velocity varies according to position as \( v = 2x^2 \). If the block goes from \( x = 0 \) to \( x = 5 \), find the work done by the block.

Show Hint

When the velocity is given as a function of position, the work done can be calculated using integration. Work can also be found using the change in kinetic energy, \( W = \Delta K.E \).

The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

The work done \( W \) is given by the equation: \[ W = \Delta KE = \frac{1}{2} M \left[ V_2^2 - V_1^2 \right] \] At \( x = 0, V_1 = 0 \), and at \( x = 5, V_2 = 2 \times (5)^2 = 50 \). Now, substitute these values into the equation for \( W \): \[ W = \frac{1}{2} \times 1 \times 1 \left[ 50^2 - 0^2 \right] \] \[ W = \frac{1}{2} \times 2500 = 1250 \, \text{T} \] Thus, the work done is \( W = 1250 \, \text{T} \).
