Detailed Solution
Given u=+5 ms-1 along positive x-direction
F=-0.4 N along negative x-direction
M=200 g =0.2 kg
The acceleration .
The negative sign shows that the motion is retarded.
The position of the body at time t is given by
At t=0, the body is at x=0. Therefore, .
Hence
Since the force acts during the time interval from t=0 to t=10s, the motion is acceleration only between t=0 and t=10 s. The position of the body t=2.5 s is given by
The velocity of the body at t = 2.5 s is
During the first ten seconds (i.e. from t = 0 to t = 10 s) the motion is accelerated. During this time a = -2 ms-2.
Putting u = 5 ms-1, a = - 2 ms-2 and t = 10 s in equation .
We have
The velocity of the body at t = 10 s is
During the remaining 20 seconds, i.e. from t=10 s to t=30 s, the acceleration a=0, because the force ceases to act after t=10 s. Then velocity of the body remains constant at during the last 20 seconds. The distance covered by the body during the last 20 seconds is
Position of the body at t=30 s is
m
The magnitude of the velocity (i.e. speed) of the body at t = 30 s is 15 ms-1.
Hence the correct choices are (a), (b) and (c)
