When a rubber band is stretched by a distance $x$,it exerts a restoring force of magnitude $F = ax + bx^2$,where $a$ and $b$ are constants. The work done in stretching the unstretched rubber band by $L$ is

  • A
    $\frac{1}{2}(aL^2 + bL^3)$
  • B
    $\frac{aL^2}{2} + \frac{bL^3}{3}$
  • C
    $\frac{1}{2}(\frac{aL^2}{2} + \frac{bL^3}{3})$
  • D
    $aL^2 + bL^3$

The graph between power $(P)$ and time $(t)$ is given below. Which of the following options is correct for the work done by the force [from $t = 0$ to time $t$]?

$A$ force acts on a body of mass $10 \ kg$,resulting in its displacement given as $x = \left(\frac{t^3}{25}\right) \ m$,where $t$ is the time in seconds. The work done by the force in the first $2 \ s$ is (in $J$)

The graphs below show the magnitude of the force on a particle as the particle moves along the positive $x$ axis from the origin to $x = x_1$. The force is parallel to the $x$ axis and is conservative. The maximum magnitude $F_1$ has the same value for all graphs. Rank the situations according to the change in the potential energy associated with the force,from least (or most negative) to greatest (or most positive).
