Q. A time dependent force $F = 6t$ acts on a particle of mass $1\,kg$. If the particle starts from rest, the work done by the force during the first $1\,sec$. will be :

Solution:

Given,
$ F =6 t $
$ m =1 kg $
Force, $F = ma =6 t$
$ \begin{array}{l} 1 \times \frac{d v}{d t}=6 t \\ d v=6 t d t \end{array} $
Integrating both side,
$ \begin{array}{l} v =\int dv =\int_0^1 6 tdt \\ v =6\left[\frac{ t ^2}{2}\right]_0^1 \\ v =3 m / s \end{array} $
Initial velocity, $u =0 m / s$
From work energy theorem,
$ \begin{aligned} W &= K _{ f }- K _{ i } \\ W &=\frac{1}{2} mv ^2-\frac{1}{2} mu ^2 \\ W &=\frac{1}{2} \times 1 \times 3 \times 3-\frac{1}{2} \times 1 \times 0 \times 0 \\ W &=4.5-0=4.5 J \end{aligned} $
