A particle of mass M moves along a straight line with initial speed vi. A force of magnitude F pushes the particle a distance D along the direction of its motion. Required:
By what multiplicative factor RK does the initial kinetic energy increase, and by what multiplicative factor RWdoes the work done by the force increase (with respect to the case when the particle had a mass M)?

Solution :

From the Newton's second law of motion :

F = ma

Integrating above the expression by applying the limits :

Here the diameter is s= D

The final speed of the particle after travelling distance D is

The kinetic energy of the particle of mass M is :

For M = 3M

Thus the kinetic energy increases by a factor of 3.

The work done depends on the factor and the displacement of the body. Thus, the work done remains same even though the mass increases. Hence the work down increases by factor 1.

the design of a ski jumping suit involves a trade-off between giving the skiers lift to get higher jumps and ensuring the skier does not face a lot of drag before the jump itself. an expansive suit may to lift the skier higher, but at the same time, it will also increase the air resistance. higher air resistance as the skier goes down the slope limits the speed of the jump. a big suit also increases the risk of losing balance or control, especially if there's a strong gust of wind. while technologically enhanced suits a lot, clothing is not the only factor in a ski jumper’s success. gathering speed while skiing down the slope, ensuring good speed on the ramp, and maintaining good body posture and form in the air all contribute to a ski jumper's success.
