Q33JEE Main 2020 · 5 SEP · SHIFT 2Medium

Power

A body of mass 2 kg is driven by an engine delivering a constant power of 1 J/s. The body starts from rest and moves in a straight line. After 9 seconds, the body has moved a distance (in m) _______.

Numerical answer type. Work it out, then open the answer.

Show answer and solution

Answer: 18

  1. For constant power from rest, x=(8P9m)1/2t3/2x = \left(\frac{8P}{9m}\right)^{1/2} t^{3/2}.
  2. x=8×19×2×93/2=23×27x = \sqrt{\frac{8 \times 1}{9 \times 2}} \times 9^{3/2} = \frac{2}{3} \times 27
  3. x=18 mx = 18\text{ m}
