Question

The power supplied by a force acting on a particle moving in a straight line is constant . The velocity of the particle varies with  the displacement `x` as


Options:
A .  `sqrt(x)`
B .  `x`
C .  `x^2`
D .  `x^(1/3)`
Answer: Option D

(D)      `because `   p = Fv = (ma) v = `m((d^2 x)/(dt^2)) ((dx)/(dt))`

Since , power is constant ,

`:.`    `   ((d^2 x)/(dt^2)) ((dx)/(dt))` = k

or        `((d)/(dt)) ((dx)/(dt))^2 = k`

or        `((dx)/(dt))^2  = k_1` t

or         ` (dx)/(dt) = sqrt(k_1 t) = k _2 t^(1/2)`

or          ` x = k_3 t^(3/2)`

Hence  `(dx)/(dt) prop t^(1/2) prop x^(1/3)`
