QJEEM22Ph8c46: JEE Main 2022 Physics - Class 11 JEEM22Ph8c46 Solution: A block of mass 2 kg moving on a horizontal surface with speed…

A block of mass 2 kg moving on a horizontal surface with speed of 4 ms−1 enters a rough surface ranging from x = 0.5 m to x = 1.5 m. The retarding force in this range of rough surface is related to distance by F = −kx where k = 12 Nm−1. The speed of the block as it just crosses the rough surface will be :

Multiple Choice Options

  • A zero
  • B 1.5 ms−1
  • C 2.0 ms−1
  • D 2.5 ms−1

Step-by-Step Verified Solution

F=−12x

mvdvdx=−12x

∫4vvdv=−6∫0.51.5xdx (m=2 kg)

v2−162=−6[1.52−0.522]

v2−162=−6

v=2 m/sec
