    A block of mass m = 1 kg moving on a horizontal surface with speed \[{{v}_{i}}=2\,\text{m}\,{{\text{s}}^{-1}}\]enters a rough patch ranging from x = 0.10 m to x = 2.01 m. The retarding force \[{{F}_{r}}\]on the block in this range is inversely proportional to x over this range, \[{{F}_{r}}=-\frac{k}{x}\]for\[0.1<x<2.01m\]= 0 for x < 0.1 m and x > 2.01 m where k = 0.5 J. What is the final kinetic energy of the block as it crosses this patch?

    A) 0.5 J    

    B) 1.5 J 

    C) 2.0 J    

    D) 2.5 J

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    [a] : Here. \[m=1\text{ }kg,{{v}_{i}}=2\text{ }m\text{ }{{\text{s}}^{-1}},k=0.5\text{ }J\]Initial kinetic energy, \[{{K}_{i}}=\frac{1}{2}mv_{i}^{2}=\frac{1}{2}\times (1kg){{(2m{{s}^{-1}})}^{2}}=2J\] Work done by retarding force \[W=\int_{{}}^{{}}{{{F}_{r}}dx}=\int\limits_{0.1}^{2.01}{-\frac{k}{x}}dx=-k\left[ \ln \,x \right]_{0.1}^{2.01}\] \[=-k\ln \left( \frac{2.01}{0.1} \right)=-0.5\ln (20.1)=-1.5J\] According to work-energy theorem\[W={{K}_{f}}-{{K}_{i}}\] or \[{{K}_{f}}=W+{{K}_{i}}=-1.5J+2J=0.5J\]
