The correct Answer is:
To find the work done by the force acting on a particle moving along the x-axis, we can use the work-energy theorem, which states that the net work done on an object is equal to the change in its kinetic energy. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the given information**: - The velocity of the particle is given by \( v = \alpha \sqrt{x} \). - The mass of the particle is \( m \). - We need to find the work done as the particle moves from \( x = 0 \) to \( x = 2 \, \text{m} \). 2. **Calculate the initial velocity**: - At \( x = 0 \): \[ v(0) = \alpha \sqrt{0} = 0 \] - Therefore, the initial velocity \( u = 0 \). 3. **Calculate the final velocity**: - At \( x = 2 \): \[ v(2) = \alpha \sqrt{2} \] - Therefore, the final velocity \( v = \alpha \sqrt{2} \). 4. **Calculate the initial kinetic energy**: - The initial kinetic energy \( KE_i \) when \( x = 0 \): \[ KE_i = \frac{1}{2} m u^2 = \frac{1}{2} m (0)^2 = 0 \] 5. **Calculate the final kinetic energy**: - The final kinetic energy \( KE_f \) when \( x = 2 \): \[ KE_f = \frac{1}{2} m v^2 = \frac{1}{2} m (\alpha \sqrt{2})^2 = \frac{1}{2} m (2\alpha^2) = m \alpha^2 \] 6. **Calculate the work done**: - According to the work-energy theorem: \[ W = KE_f - KE_i = m \alpha^2 - 0 = m \alpha^2 \] 7. **Conclusion**: - The work done by the force acting on the particle during its motion from \( x = 0 \) to \( x = 2 \, \text{m} \) is: \[ W = m \alpha^2 \] ### Final Answer: The work done by the force is \( m \alpha^2 \). ---
