A particle moves in a straight line with retardation proportional to its displacement. Its loss of kinetic energy for any displacement x is proportional to

Q: A particle moves in a straight line with retardation proportional to its displacement. Its loss of kinetic energy for any displacement x is proportional to

(a) x²

(b) ex

(c) x

(d) loge x

Click to See Answer :

Ans: (a)

Sol: $\large -a \propto x $

$\large -v\frac{dv}{dx} = k x$

$\large – \int_{u}^{v} v dv = \int_{0}^{x}k x dx$
