A body of mass 2 kg is initially at rest. It starts moving unidirectionally under the influence of a source of constant power P. Its displacement in 4 s is 13α2P m. The value of α will be ______.

Solution

Energy provided will be used to increase kinetic energy of the body. Therefore,

12mV2=Pt

V=2Ptm

dxdt=2Ptm0xdx=2Pm04t12dt

x=2Pm23t3204

x=16P3=13×16P

Hence, required value of α=4.
