A

(a) Work done by the applied force is `+7J`

B

(b) The total energy possessed by the body at P is `+7J`

The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we will use the work-energy theorem and the information provided in the question. ### Step 1: Identify the Given Information - Mass of the body, \( m = 1 \, \text{kg} \) - Speed at point P, \( v = 2 \, \text{m/s} \) - Work done by conservative force, \( W_c = -5 \, \text{J} \) ### Step 2: Calculate the Initial and Final Kinetic Energy The initial kinetic energy (KE_initial) when the body is at infinity (starting point) is: \[ \text{KE}_{\text{initial}} = 0 \, \text{J} \quad (\text{since the body starts from rest}) \] The final kinetic energy (KE_final) at point P can be calculated using the formula: \[ \text{KE}_{\text{final}} = \frac{1}{2} m v^2 \] Substituting the values: \[ \text{KE}_{\text{final}} = \frac{1}{2} \times 1 \, \text{kg} \times (2 \, \text{m/s})^2 = \frac{1}{2} \times 1 \times 4 = 2 \, \text{J} \] ### Step 3: Apply the Work-Energy Theorem According to the work-energy theorem: \[ W_{\text{total}} = \Delta KE = \text{KE}_{\text{final}} - \text{KE}_{\text{initial}} \] Substituting the values: \[ W_{\text{total}} = 2 \, \text{J} - 0 \, \text{J} = 2 \, \text{J} \] ### Step 4: Relate Work Done by Forces The total work done by all forces is the sum of the work done by the conservative force and the work done by the applied force (\( W_a \)): \[ W_{\text{total}} = W_a + W_c \] Substituting the known values: \[ 2 \, \text{J} = W_a - 5 \, \text{J} \] Solving for \( W_a \): \[ W_a = 2 \, \text{J} + 5 \, \text{J} = 7 \, \text{J} \] ### Step 5: Calculate Total Energy at Point P The total mechanical energy at point P is the sum of kinetic energy and potential energy. The potential energy (PE) can be derived from the work done by the conservative force: \[ \text{PE} = -W_c = -(-5 \, \text{J}) = 5 \, \text{J} \] Thus, the total energy (E) at point P is: \[ E = \text{KE}_{\text{final}} + \text{PE} = 2 \, \text{J} + 5 \, \text{J} = 7 \, \text{J} \] ### Conclusion From the calculations: - The work done by the applied force is \( 7 \, \text{J} \). - The total energy at point P is \( 7 \, \text{J} \). - The potential energy at point P is \( 5 \, \text{J} \). - The work done by all forces together equals the change in kinetic energy.

To solve the problem step by step, we will use the work-energy theorem and the information provided in the question. ### Step 1: Identify the Given Information - Mass of the body, \( m = 1 \, \text{kg} \) - Speed at point P, \( v = 2 \, \text{m/s} \) - Work done by conservative force, \( W_c = -5 \, \text{J} \) ### Step 2: Calculate the Initial and Final Kinetic Energy ...
