Q.

A body of mass 5 kg is moving with a momentum of 10 kg ms-1. Now a force of 2 N acts on the body in the direction of its motion for 5 s. The increase in the kinetic energy of the body is ________ J.                  [2023]


Ans.

(30)

Given: M=5 kg

Pi=10 kg m/s  (initial momentum)

Impulse=FΔt=ΔP=Pf-Pi

2×5=Pf-10

Pf=20kg m/s  (final momentum)

Increase in KE=KEf-KEi

=Pf22m-Pi22m=4002×5-1002×5=40-10=30 J
