An object of mass 500 g, initially at rest, is acted upon by a variable force whose X-component varies with X in the manner shown. The velocities of the object at the points X = 8 m and X = 12 m, would have the respective values of (nearly)

Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
From work-energy theorem we know that
K = work = area under F - x graph
From x = 0 to x = 8 m
mv 2 = 100 + 30 2
v 2 = 520

From x = 0to x=12m
mv 2 =100 + 30-47.5 + 20


Hence appropriate option is 23 m/s and 20.6 m/s
