A block of mass 2 kg is free to move along the x-axis. It is at rest and from onwards it is subjected to a time-dependent force in the x direction. The force varies with as shown in the figure. The kinetic energy of the block after 4.5 seconds is
  1. (A)4.50 J
  2. (B)7.50 J
  3. (C)5.06 J✓ Correct
  4. (D)14.06 J

Answer: (C)

Solution

The impulse equals the change in momentum:


The area under the F-t curve from t = 0 to t = 4.5 s gives the impulse. From the graph, this area is 4.5 kg·m/s.

Therefore, the final velocity is:


The kinetic energy is:


The answer is (C) 5.06 J.
