Solution
The correct option is A 475 J As a retarding force is applied, the speed of the body decreases so is the kinetic energy. This change in KE is the amount of work done by the force. W=KEi−KEf KEf=KEi−W KEf=KEi−∫3020F⋅dx KEf=0.5(10)(102)−∫30200.1x⋅dx KEf=500−0.1[x22]3020=500−0.1[3022−2022] KEf=500−25=475J Option A is correct.
