Power question from NEET 2015 (AIPMT, Cancelled Paper)

Q37NEET 2015 · AIPMT · CANCELLED PAPERMedium

Power

A particle of mass m is driven by a machine that delivers a constant power k watts. If the particle starts from rest the force on the particle at time t is

Show answer and solution

Answer: (c)

  1. Constant power from rest: kt=12mv2⇒v=2ktmkt = \frac{1}{2}mv^2 \Rightarrow v = \sqrt{\frac{2kt}{m}}
  2. F=Pv=km2ktF = \frac{P}{v} = k\sqrt{\frac{m}{2kt}}
  3. F=mk2 t−1/2F = \sqrt{\frac{mk}{2}}\, t^{-1/2}
  4. So the answer is (c).
