Question:

An object of mass 'm' initially at rest on a smooth horizontal plane starts moving under the action of force $F=2 N$ In the process of its linear motion, the angle $\theta$ (as shown in figure) between the direction of force and horizontal varies as $\theta=k x$, where $k$ is a constant and $x$ is the distance covered by the object from its initial position The expression of kinetic energy of the object will be $E=\frac{n}{k} \sin \theta$ The valte of $n$ is

Concepts Used:

Motion in a straight line

The motion in a straight line is an object changes its position with respect to its surroundings with time, then it is called in motion. It is a change in the position of an object over time. It is nothing but linear motion. 

Types of Linear Motion:

Linear motion is also known as the Rectilinear Motion which are of two types:

  1. Uniform linear motion with constant velocity or zero acceleration: If a body travels in a straight line by covering an equal amount of distance in an equal interval of time then it is said to have uniform motion.
  2. Non-Uniform linear motion with variable velocity or non-zero acceleration: Not like the uniform acceleration, the body is said to have a non-uniform motion when the velocity of a body changes by unequal amounts in equal intervals of time. The rate of change of its velocity changes at different points of time during its movement.
