Q.

A block of mass 1 kg, moving along x with speed vi = 10 m/s enters a rough region ranging from x = 0.1 m to x = 1.9 m. The retarding force acting on the block in this range is Fr = – kx N, with k = 10 N/m. Then the final speed of the block as it crosses rough region is          [2025]

1 10 m/s  
2 4 m/s  
3 6 m/s  
4 8 m/s  

Ans.

(4)

a=Fm=–10x ⇒ vdvdx=–10x

∫10vvdv=–10∫0.11.9xdx

v2–1002=–10((1.9)2–(0.1)22)

⇒ v=8 m/s
