Q.
A time dependent force F=8t acts on an object of mass 2kg. If the object starts from rest, the work done by the force during the first 4s will be __________J.
From Newton's second law, F=8t=ma ∴2a=8t ∴dtdv=4t ∴0∫vdv=0∫44tdt ∴v=(2t2)04 ∴v=32m/s
From work energy theorem, WF=ΔK.E.=21m(v2−u2) =212(1024−0) ∴WF=1024J
