Consider an elliptically shaped rail PQ in the vertical plane with OP = 3m and OQ = 4m. A block of mass 1kg is pulled along the rail from P to Q with a force of 18 N, Which is always parallel to line PQ (see the figure given). Assuming no frictional losses, the kinetic energy of the block when it reaches Q is $(n \times 10)$ joules. The value of n is (take acceleration due to gravity = 10 ms $^{-2}$ )
Correct Answer: 5
Explanation:
Using work energy theorem
$\begin{array}{l} W _ {m g} + W _ {F} = \Delta K E \\ - m g h + F d = \Delta K E \\ - 1 \times 1 0 \times 4 + 1 8 (5) = \Delta K E \\ \Delta K E = 5 0 \\ \therefore n = 5. \end{array}$
$\begin{array}{l} W _ {m g} + W _ {F} = \Delta K E \\ - m g h + F d = \Delta K E \\ - 1 \times 1 0 \times 4 + 1 8 (5) = \Delta K E \\ \Delta K E = 5 0 \\ \therefore n = 5. \end{array}$

Correct Answer: 5
Explanation:
From Modified Work-Energy Theorem, we have
$\begin{array}{r l} & W _ {\mathrm{ext}} = \Delta U + \Delta K \\ \Rightarrow & W _ {F} = \Delta U + \Delta K \\ \Rightarrow & (1 8) (5) = (1) (1 0) (4) + (K _ {f} - 0) \\ \Rightarrow & 9 0 = 4 0 + K _ {f} \\ \Rightarrow & K _ {f} = 5 0 \mathrm{J} \\ \Rightarrow & K _ {f} = 5 (1 0 \mathrm{J}) \\ \Rightarrow & n = 5 \\ \Rightarrow & W _ {F} + W _ {m g} = K _ {f} - K _ {i} \\ & 1 8 \times 5 + (1 \times 1 0) (- 4) = K _ {f} \\ & 9 0 - 4 0 = K _ {f} \\ \Rightarrow & K _ {f} = 5 0 \mathrm{J} = 5 \times 1 0 \mathrm{J} \\ \Rightarrow & n = 5 \end{array}$

A particle of mass 0.2 kg is moving in one dimension under a force that delivers a constant power 0.5W to the particle. If the initial speed (in $ms^{-1}$ ) of the particle is zero, the speed (in $ms^{-1}$ ) after 5 s is.
Correct Answer: 5
Explanation:
Ans. (A)
$P = F \cdot v = m a v = m v ^ {2} \cdot \frac {d v}{d s}$
$\int P d s = \int m v ^ {2} d v$
$\Rightarrow 3 0 = \frac {1 0}{7} \times \frac {1}{3} [ v ^ {3} ] _ {1} ^ {v}$
$\Rightarrow \quad 6 3 = v ^ {3} - 1 \quad \Rightarrow v = 4 m / s$
$P = F \cdot v = m a v = m v ^ {2} \cdot \frac {d v}{d s}$
$\int P d s = \int m v ^ {2} d v$
$\Rightarrow 3 0 = \frac {1 0}{7} \times \frac {1}{3} [ v ^ {3} ] _ {1} ^ {v}$
$\Rightarrow \quad 6 3 = v ^ {3} - 1 \quad \Rightarrow v = 4 m / s$
