A particle of mass MM starting from rest undergoes uniform acceleration. If the speed acquired in time TT is vv, the power delivered to the particle is:

A

Mv2T\frac{Mv^2}{T}

B

12Mv2T2\frac{1}{2}\frac{Mv^2}{T^2}

C

Mv2T2\frac{Mv^2}{T^2}

D

12Mv2T\frac{1}{2}\frac{Mv^2}{T}

Step-by-Step Solution

  1. Identify the Goal: The problem asks for the power delivered to the particle. Given the probable answer provided, this refers to the Average Power delivered over the time interval TT to achieve speed vv.
  2. Apply Work-Energy Theorem: The work done (WW) on the particle is equal to the change in its kinetic energy (ΔK\Delta K).
  • Initial Kinetic Energy (KiK_i) = 0 (starts from rest)
  • Final Kinetic Energy (KfK_f) = 12Mv2\frac{1}{2}Mv^2 W=ΔK=12Mv20=12Mv2W = \Delta K = \frac{1}{2}Mv^2 - 0 = \frac{1}{2}Mv^2 [Class 11 Physics, Ch 5, Sec 5.2, Eq 5.2a]
  1. Calculate Average Power: Average power (PavP_{av}) is defined as the work done divided by the time taken. Pav=WtP_{av} = \frac{W}{t} Substituting the values: Pav=12Mv2T=12Mv2TP_{av} = \frac{\frac{1}{2}Mv^2}{T} = \frac{1}{2}\frac{Mv^2}{T} [Class 11 Physics, Ch 5, Sec 5.10, Eq 5.20]

(Note: If the question asked for Instantaneous Power at time TT, the answer would be P=Fv=(Ma)v=M(vT)v=Mv2TP = F \cdot v = (Ma)v = M(\frac{v}{T})v = \frac{Mv^2}{T}).
