Questions  

A particle of mass m is initially at rest at the origin. It is subjected to a force and starts moving along the x-axis. Its kinetic energy K changes with time as  dKdt=γt, where γ is a positive constant of appropriate dimensions. Which of the following statements is (are) true?

a
The force applied on the particle is constant
b
The speed of the particle is proportional to time
c
The distance of the particle from the origin increases linearly with time
d
The force is conservative

detailed solution

Correct option is A

dKdt=yt as K=12mv2∴dKdt=mvdvdt=yt∴m∫0v vdv=y∫0t tdt⇒mv22=yt22⇒v=ymt⇒a=dvdt=ym= Constant  and S=12at2=12ymt2 Since F=ma∴F=mym=ym= Constant Since force applied is constant, it is conservative in nature.
