STANDARD Physics Kinetic Energy MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-conceptual-Medium-Class 11

If the force acting on a body is inversely proportional to its speed, then its kinetic energy is

A

linearly related to time

B

inversely proportional to time

C

inversely proportional to the square of time

D

a constant.

Correct Answer

Option A

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.
