Physics-Work-Energy Theorem

NEET Physics Work-Energy Theorem MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-numerical-Easy-Class 11

A block of mass 1 kg is moving on a horizontal surface with an initial speed of 2 m/s. It enters a rough patch where the retarding force is inversely proportional to the position x in the range 0.1 m to 2.01 m. If the constant k is 0.5 J, what is the final kinetic energy of the block as it exits the rough patch?

A

5 J

B

0 J

C

0.5 J

D

0.0 J

Correct Answer

Option C

Detailed Explanation

The work done by the retarding force is the integral of F(x) over the displacement. The initial kinetic energy is 2 J, and the negative work done reduces it by 1.5 J, leaving 0.5 J.
