Q.

A particle of mass 10 g moves in a straight line with retardation 2x, where x is the displacement in SI units. Its loss of kinetic energy for above displacement is (10x)-nJ. The value of n will be _________ .             [2023]


Ans.

(2)

Loss of K.E.=work done against retarding force

                        =∫0xma dx=∫0xm2x dx=mx2

                        =(10-2 kg)x2J=(10x)-2J

So n=2
