The Correct Option is D

Solution and Explanation

According to question $\frac{4}{3} \pi a^{3}$ $ n=\frac{4}{3} \pi b^{3}$ $ n=\left(\frac{b}{a}\right)^{3}$ $W=T .4 \pi\left[n a^{2}-n^{2}\right] W$ $=\frac{1}{2} m v^{2}=\frac{1}{2} \cdot \frac{4}{3} \pi b^{3} p v^{2}$ $ \therefore \frac{1}{2} \times \frac{4}{3} \pi b^{3 p v^{2}=} T .4 \pi\left[n a^{2}-b^{2}\right]$ or $v=\sqrt{\frac{6 T}{\rho}\left(\frac{n a^{2}}{b^{3}}-\frac{b^{2}}{b^{3}}\right)} $ $\therefore v=\sqrt{\frac{6 T}{\rho}\left(\frac{1}{a}-\frac{1}{b}\right)}$

Kinetic energy

Kinetic energy of an object is the measure of the work it does as a result of its motion. Kinetic energy is the type of energy that an object or particle has as a result of its movement. When an object is subjected to a net force, it accelerates and gains kinetic energy as a result. Kinetic energy is a property of a moving object or particle defined by both its mass and its velocity. Any combination of motions is possible, including translation (moving along a route from one spot to another), rotation around an axis, vibration, and any combination of motions.
