    A object of mass 5 kg falls from rest through: a vertical distance of  20 m and reaches with   a velocity of 10 m/s. How much work is     done by push of air on the object?              \[\left( \text{g }=\text{ 9}.\text{6 m}/{{\text{s}}^{\text{2}}} \right)\]

    A) -730 J                                    

    B)  -365 J

    C)  -530 J                                   

    D)  -1460 J

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

                     From work-energy theorem we have, work done                 = gain in kinetic energy                  ... (i) Also,      work done W = force (F)                                 \[\times \] displacement              ...(ii) The net downward force is Mg - F From Eq. (ii), putting                 d = 20 m work done \[(W)=(mg-F)\times 20\] Gain in \[KE=\frac{1}{2}m{{v}^{2}}\] \[\therefore \]  \[(mg-F)\times 20=\frac{1}{2}m{{v}^{2}}\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[mg-F=\frac{1}{40}m{{v}^{2}}\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[F=5\times 9.8-\frac{1}{40}\times 5\times {{10}^{2}}\] \[\Rightarrow \]               F = 36.5 N Work done by push of air                 \[=Fs\,\cos \theta \]                 \[=36.5\times 20\times \cos {{180}^{o}}\]                 \[=-730\,J\]
