STANDARD Physics Kinetic Energy MCQ Question
If the force acting on a body is inversely proportional to its speed, then its kinetic energy is
linearly related to time
inversely proportional to time
inversely proportional to the square of time
a constant.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
Given F ∝ 1/v, we have F = C/v where C is a constant. By integrating the equation of motion, we find that kinetic energy K = 1/2 mv² = Ct, showing that K is linearly related to time.
