Q117 / 125 · BITSAT 2019 · Physics

The force on a body of mass 1 kg is 20 i^+10 j^ N. If it starts from rest, then the position of the body at time t=2 s, is

  • A
    -20 i^-40 j^
  • B
    20 i^-40 j^
  • C
    40 i^-20 j^
  • Correct answer
    D
    40 i^+20 j^

Solution

F=20 i^+10 j^

∴ Fx=20 N and Fy=10 N

∴ Acceleration,

ax=Fxm=201
ax=20 m s-2

and ay=Fym=101=10 m s-2

∴ Displacement of body in x -direction in 2 s.

x=ux t+12ax t2

=0+12×20×22
=40 m

Displacement of body in y-direction in 2 s.

y=uy t+12 ay t2

=0+12×10×22

=20 m

∴ Position of the body at t=2 s

r=x i^+y j^
r=40 i^+20 j^

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'D'.
