Correct Answer - Option 4 : \(\frac{1}{\sqrt m}\)

CONCEPT:

Newton's second law of motion

  • According to Newton's second law of motion, the rate of change of momentum of a body is directly proportional to the applied unbalanced force.
  • The magnitude of the force is given as,

\(\Rightarrow F=ma\)

CALCULATION:

Given m = mass, initial velocity u = 0 m/s and F = constant

  • Since force is constant so the produce acceleration in the body will also be constant.
  • By Newton's second law of motion, the produce acceleration in the body is given as,

\(\Rightarrow a=\frac{F}{m}\)     -----(1)

By the third equation of motion,

\(\Rightarrow v^{2}=u^{2}+2as\)     -----(2)

Where v = final velocity, u = initial velocity, a = constant acceleration and s = displacement

By equation 2,

\(\Rightarrow v^{2}=0^{2}+2as\)

\(\Rightarrow v^{2}=\frac{2Fs}{m}\)

\(\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{\frac{2Fs}{m}}\)     -----(3)

In equation 3, F and s are constant so,

\(\Rightarrow v\propto\frac{1}{\sqrt{m}}\)

  • Hence, option 4 is correct.
