Solution

The correct option is D
Rate of work done is the power associated with the force. It means rate of work done by the gravitational force is the power associated with the gravitational force. Gravitational force acting on the block is equal to its weight mg which acts vertically downwards.
Velocity of the particle (at time t) has two components,
(i) a horizontal component v cos θ and
(ii) a vertically upward component (vsinθgt)
Hence, the power associated with the weight mg will be equal to p=mg.v=mg(vsinθgt)
This shows that the curve between power & time will be straight line having positive slope but negative intercept on Y-axis.
Hence (D) is correct.
