The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the situation where equal net forces act on two blocks (A and B) with masses \( m \) and \( 4m \) respectively, for the same displacement. We will derive the relationships between work done, kinetic energy, and speed for both blocks. ### Step 1: Understand the Work Done The work done (W) on an object is given by the formula: \[ W = F \cdot S \] where \( F \) is the force applied and \( S \) is the displacement. Since equal net forces act on both blocks and the displacement is the same, we can denote the force as \( F \) and the displacement as \( S \). ### Step 2: Calculate Work Done on Both Blocks For both blocks A and B: - Work done on block A, \( W_A = F \cdot S \) - Work done on block B, \( W_B = F \cdot S \) Since both forces and displacements are equal: \[ W_A = W_B \] Thus, the ratio of work done on block A to block B is: \[ \frac{W_A}{W_B} = 1 : 1 \] ### Step 3: Apply the Work-Energy Theorem According to the work-energy theorem, the work done on an object is equal to the change in its kinetic energy. Therefore, we can write: \[ W_A = KE_A \quad \text{and} \quad W_B = KE_B \] Since \( W_A = W_B \), we have: \[ KE_A = KE_B \] This implies: \[ \frac{KE_A}{KE_B} = 1 : 1 \] ### Step 4: Relate Kinetic Energy to Speed The kinetic energy (KE) of an object is given by: \[ KE = \frac{1}{2} m v^2 \] For block A: \[ KE_A = \frac{1}{2} m v_A^2 \] For block B: \[ KE_B = \frac{1}{2} (4m) v_B^2 = 2m v_B^2 \] Setting the kinetic energies equal gives: \[ \frac{1}{2} m v_A^2 = 2m v_B^2 \] Dividing both sides by \( m \) (assuming \( m \neq 0 \)): \[ \frac{1}{2} v_A^2 = 2 v_B^2 \] Rearranging gives: \[ v_A^2 = 4 v_B^2 \] Taking the square root: \[ \frac{v_A}{v_B} = 2 : 1 \] ### Conclusion From our analysis: - The work done on both blocks is in the ratio \( 1 : 1 \). - The kinetic energy of both blocks is also in the ratio \( 1 : 1 \). - The speeds of the blocks are in the ratio \( 2 : 1 \). Thus, the correct statement is that the work done on the blocks is in the ratio \( 1 : 1 \). ### Final Answer The correct statement is that the work done on blocks A and B is in the ratio \( 1 : 1 \).

To solve the problem, we need to analyze the situation where equal net forces act on two blocks (A and B) with masses \( m \) and \( 4m \) respectively, for the same displacement. We will derive the relationships between work done, kinetic energy, and speed for both blocks. ### Step 1: Understand the Work Done The work done (W) on an object is given by the formula: \[ W = F \cdot S \] where \( F \) is the force applied and \( S \) is the displacement. Since equal net forces act on both blocks and the displacement is the same, we can denote the force as \( F \) and the displacement as \( S \). ...
