Question
A body of mass 1 kg moves along a straight line with a velocity $v = 2x^{2}$. The work done by the body during displacement from $x = 0$ to 5 m is $\_\_\_\_$ J.
Options
A.0
B.250
C.1250
D.1000
Solution
Sol. [Key Concept: Work done $= \Delta\ KE = \frac{1}{2}\ m(v_{f}^{2} - v_{i}^{2})$ with $v = 2x^{2}$ evaluated at $x = 0$ and $x = 5$.]
$$w.\Delta = \Delta K.E$$
$$\begin{matrix} & \ = \frac{1}{2}\text{ }m\left( v_{f}^{2} - v_{i}^{2} \right) \\ & \ = \frac{1}{2} \times 1\left\lbrack \left( 2(5)^{2} \right)^{2} - (2(0))^{2} \right\rbrack^{0} \\ & \ = \frac{1}{2} \times 50 \times 50 = 1250\text{ }J \end{matrix}$$
