A particle is moving unidirectionally on a horizontal plane under the action of a constant power supplying energy source. The displacement (s) - time (t) graph that describes the motion of the particle is (graphs are drawn schematically and are not to scale) :

A. JEE Main 2020 (Online) 3rd September Evening Slot Physics - Work Power & Energy Question 63 English Option 1

B. JEE Main 2020 (Online) 3rd September Evening Slot Physics - Work Power & Energy Question 63 English Option 2

C. JEE Main 2020 (Online) 3rd September Evening Slot Physics - Work Power & Energy Question 63 English Option 3

D. JEE Main 2020 (Online) 3rd September Evening Slot Physics - Work Power & Energy Question 63 English Option 4

Correct Option is (B)

P = F v

P = m d v d t v

v d v = P m d t

Integrating both sides, we get

V 2 = k t

V = k" t

d s d t = k" t

d s = k t d t

s t3/2

An elevator in a building can carry a maximum of 10 persons, with the average mass of each person being 68 kg, The mass of the elevator itself is 920 kg and it moves with a constant speed of 3 m/s. The frictional force opposing the motion is 6000 N. If the elevator is moving up with its full capacity, the power delivered by the motor to the elevator (g = 10 m/s2) must be at least :

A. 48000 W

B. 62360 W

C. 56300 W

D. 66000 W

Correct Option is (D)

Net force on motor will be

Fm = [920 + 68(10)]g + 6000 = 22000 N

So, required power for motor

P = Fm.V = 22000 × 3 = 66000 W

A 60 HP electric motor lifts an elevator having a maximum total load capacity of 2000 kg. If the frictional force on the elevator is 4000 N, the speed of the elevator at full load is close to :
(1 HP = 746 W, g = 10 ms-2)

A. 1.5 ms-1

B. 1.7 ms-1

C. 2.0 ms-1

D. 1.9 ms-1

Correct Option is (D)



F = mg + f

F = 20000 + 4000 = 24000 N

We know, Power(P) = Fv

v = P F = 60 × 746 24000

v 1.9 m/s

A body of mass 2 kg is driven by an engine delivering a constant power of 1 J/s. The body starts from rest and moves in a straight line. After 9 seconds, the body has moved a distance (in m) _______.

Correct answer is (18)

Let s be the required distance.

JEE Main 2020 (Online) 5th September Evening Slot Physics - Work Power & Energy Question 60 English Explanation

From Work - Energy theorem,

Work = Change in kinetic energy

Power × Time = Δ K

i.e., Pt = Δ K Pt = 1 2 mv2 ..... (i)

Given, P = 1 Js 1, t = 9 s, m = 2 kg

Substituting all the given values in eq. (i), we get

1 × 9 = 1 2 (2) v2

v2 = 9 v = 3 m/s (at t = 9 s)

As, Fv = P (ma)v = P [ F = ma]

m [ d v d t ] v = P m [ d s d t d v d s ] v = P

m [ v d v d s ] v = P

2 v 2 d v = d s { P = 1 J/s and m = 2 kg}

Integrating both sides,

0 3 2 v 2 d v = 0 s d s 2 3 [ v 3 ] 0 3 = 8

2 3 [ 27 0 ] = s s = 18 m

Hence, after 9 s, the body has moved a distance of 18 m.

A particle of mass M is moving in a circle of fixed radius R in such a way that its centripetal acceleration at time t is given by n2 R t2 where n is a constant. The power delivered to the particle by the force acting on it, is :

A. M n2 R2 t

B. M n R2 t

C. M n R2 t2

D. 1 2 M n2 R2 t2

Correct Option is (A)

We know,

centripetal acceleration = V 2 R

   According to question,

V 2 R = n 2 R t 2

   V2 = n2 R2 t2

   V = nRt

    d V d t = nR

Power (P) = Force (F) × Velocity (V)

= M d V d t (V)

= M (nR) (nRt)

= Mn2R2t
