Work Done by Force in First 4 Secs: 0

AI Thread Summary
The particle's position is defined by the equation t = (√x) + 2, leading to a constant position of x = 4 m at t = 4 seconds. Since the initial and final positions are the same, there is no displacement, resulting in zero work done by the force. The formula for work, W = F.s = mas, confirms that without displacement, work is zero. The discussion highlights the importance of understanding displacement in calculating work. Overall, the conclusion is that no work is done in the first four seconds due to the lack of displacement.

1. The position x of a particle moving along x-axis at time t is given by the eqn, t=(√x)+2.,where x is in m and t is in s. Find the work done by force in first 4 sec2. W=F.s=mas

I first found out x using the given eqn nd then went blank as there was no force or mass given. But the ans is 0

Please keep the formatting headers in place when you post a homework problem.

Can you supply the details about work you've done so far? (show your equations) There may be some answers to your stated issues hidden in plain sight :wink:

Here s is 'displacement' of the particle i.e. "change" in the value of 'x' in the equation. Does that ring any bells?

Great, got it. There ain't no displacement. Coz the initial as well as final position is 2. Thanx sir.
