You have a machine which can accelerate pucks on frictionless ice. Starting from rest, the puck travels a distance x in time t when force F is applied. If force 1/4F is applied, the distance the puck travels in time t is
a. 1/2x.
b. 4x.
c. 2x.
d. 3x.
e. 1/4x.
Ans
As the puck starts from rest so initial speed u = 0 m/s
With force F acceleration is
m is mass of puck.
distance covered x in time t. So
......................(1)
Now the force applied is F/4. So distance covered
Using equation 1
therefore option (e) is correct.
