Q. A body of mass $m$, accelerates uniformly from rest to $v_{1}$ in time $t_{1}$. The instantaneous power delivered to the body as a function of time $t$ is

Work, Energy and Power

Solution:

Acceleration $a=\frac{v_{1}}{t_{1}}$
$\therefore $ velocity $(v)=0+a t=\frac{v_{1}}{t_{1}} t$
$\therefore $ Power $P=$ Force $\times$ velocity $=m a v$
or $ P=m\left(\frac{v_{1}}{t_{1}}\right) \times\left(\frac{v_{1} t}{t_{1}}\right)=\frac{m v_{1}^{2} t}{t_{1}^{2}}$.
