Asked in MDCAT Test Series 14 — Work and EnergyModerate

When velocity of body of mass 10 kg is increased from 2 ms-1 to 8 ms-1 then the work done of the body is:

Correct answer: C. 300 J

  • A. 100 J
  • B. 200 J
  • C. 300 J
  • D. 400 J

Explanation

Work done = change in KEWork done = 1/2 m (v22 - v12)Work done = 1/2 x 10 x (82 - 22)Work done = 1/2 x 10 x (64 - 4)Work done = 300 J

About Work and Energy

Work transfers energy when a force causes displacement, while kinetic energy, gravitational potential energy and power describe motion, position and the rate of energy transfer. The work-energy theorem links net work with change in kinetic energy, and efficiency accounts for energy losses rather than treating them as energy destruction.
