  • A 1.95×\(10^5 j\)
  • B 1.35×\(10^4 j\)
  • C 7.5×\(10^4 j\)
  • D 6.0×\(10^4 j\)
Correct Answer: Option C
Explanation:
m=1200kg, \(V_1\)= \(10ms^{-1}\) \(V_2\) = \(15ms^{-1}\), w= ?

work=â–ºK.E = \( K.E_2\) = \(K.E_2\) - \(K.E_1\)

⇒work= \(\frac{1}{2}{mv^2_2}-\frac{1}{2}{mv^2_1}\)

⇒work= \(\frac{1}{2}m({v^2_2}-{v^2_1}\))

⇒work= \(\frac{1}{2}× 1200× (15^2-10^2)\)

⇒work = 600 × (225 -100)

⇒work= 600 × 125

⇒work= 7.5×\(10^4 j\)
