At any instant of time t, the displacement of any particle is given by 2t−1 (SI unit) under the influence of the force of 5 N. The value of instantaneous power (in SI units) is:
A
5
B
7
C
6
D
10
Step-by-Step Solution
Identify the Formula: Instantaneous power (P) is defined as the product of the force (F) and the instantaneous velocity (v).
P=Fv [Class 11 Physics, Ch 6, Sec 6.10, Eq 6.21]
Calculate Velocity: Velocity is the time derivative of displacement (x).
Given displacement x=2t−1.
v=dtdx=dtd(2t−1)=2 m/s [Class 11 Physics, Ch 3, Sec 3.2, Eq 3.1b]
Calculate Power:
Given Force F=5 N.
P=5 N×2 m/s=10 W
