$A$ sphere of mass $m$ is set in motion with initial velocity $v_0$ on a surface where $kx^n$ is the frictional force,with $k$ and $n$ as constants and $x$ as the distance from the starting point. Find the distance at which the sphere will stop.

  • A
    $[\frac{m v_0^2 (n+1)}{2k}]^{1/(n+1)}$
  • B
    $[\frac{m v_0^2}{2k}]^{1/(n-1)}$
  • C
    $[\frac{2m v_0^2}{k}]^{1/(n-1)}$
  • D
    $[\frac{m v_0^2}{2k(n-1)}]^{1/(n-1)}$

$A$ body moves from $x = 0$ to $x = x_1$ under the influence of a force $F = cx$. The work done during this process is:

$A$ $1 \,kg$ box placed at the origin starts sliding along the $x$-axis under the action of a force $\vec{F} = F \hat{i}$. Its acceleration as a function of $x$ is given by $a(x) = \beta x$,where $\beta = 5 \,s^{-2}$. The work done by $\vec{F}$ in moving the box from $x = 2 \,cm$ to $x = 5 \,cm$ in joules is:

$A$ block of mass $m=1 \; kg$ moving on a horizontal surface with speed $v_{i}=2 \; m \; s^{-1}$ enters a rough patch ranging from $x=0.10 \; m$ to $x=2.01 \; m$. The retarding force $F$ on the block in this range is inversely proportional to $x$ over this range,$F_{r} = -k/x$ for $0.1 < x < 2.01 \; m$,and $F_{r} = 0$ for $x < 0.1 \; m$ and $x > 2.01 \; m$,where $k=0.5 \; J$. What is the final kinetic energy $K_{f}$ and speed $v_{f}$ of the block as it crosses this patch?

$A$ position-dependent force $F = 7 - 2x + 3x^2 \, N$ acts on a small body of mass $2 \, kg$ and displaces it from $x = 0$ to $x = 5 \, m$. The work done in joules is
