Answer:
The kinetic energy of the particle will be 12U₀
Explanation:
Given that,
A particle is launched from point B with an initial velocity and reaches point A having gained U₀ joules of kinetic energy.
Constant force = 12F
According to question,
The kinetic energy is
[tex]U_{0}=Fx[/tex]....(I)
Constant force = 12F
A resistive force field is now set up ,
Resistive force is given by,
[tex]F_{r}=12F[/tex]
When the particle moves from point B to point A then,
We need to calculate the kinetic energy
Using formula for kinetic energy
[tex]U=F_{r}x[/tex]
Put the value of [tex]F_{r}[/tex]
[tex]U=12Fx[/tex]
Now, from equation (I)
[tex]U=12U_{0}[/tex]
Hence, The kinetic energy of the particle will be 12U₀.
