The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem of finding the total work done by all forces during the displacement of a particle from \( x = 0 \) to \( x = d \), we can use the work-energy theorem. This theorem states that the work done by all forces acting on a particle is equal to the change in its kinetic energy. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the given equation for velocity**: The velocity of the particle is given by the equation: \[ v = a \sqrt{x} \] where \( a \) is a constant. 2. **Determine the initial and final velocities**: - At \( x = 0 \): \[ v_{\text{initial}} = a \sqrt{0} = 0 \] - At \( x = d \): \[ v_{\text{final}} = a \sqrt{d} \] 3. **Calculate the change in kinetic energy**: The kinetic energy (\( KE \)) of an object is given by: \[ KE = \frac{1}{2} mv^2 \] - Initial kinetic energy at \( x = 0 \): \[ KE_{\text{initial}} = \frac{1}{2} m (0)^2 = 0 \] - Final kinetic energy at \( x = d \): \[ KE_{\text{final}} = \frac{1}{2} m (a \sqrt{d})^2 = \frac{1}{2} m a^2 d \] 4. **Calculate the total work done**: According to the work-energy theorem: \[ W = KE_{\text{final}} - KE_{\text{initial}} \] Substituting the values we calculated: \[ W = \frac{1}{2} m a^2 d - 0 = \frac{1}{2} m a^2 d \] Thus, the total work done by all the forces during the displacement from \( x = 0 \) to \( x = d \) is: \[ \boxed{\frac{1}{2} m a^2 d} \]
