9th Class Science Work and energy Question Bank Work, Energy and Power

  • question_answer
    The kinetic energy acquired by a mass m after travelling a fixed distance from rest under the action of constant force is

    A)  directly proportional to\[\sqrt{m}\]

    B)  directly proportional to m

    C)  independent of m  

    D)  directly proportional to \[\frac{1}{\sqrt{m}}\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

     According to work energy theorem, change in kinetic energy \[=F\times S\] Since, \[F\] and \[S\] are constant, the kinetic energy gained does not depend upon the mass of the particle. Note that, in question No. 55, kinetic energy is different for particles of different masses as they are acted upon by different forces\[(mg)\].
