The graph between the resistive force F acting on a body and the distance covered by the body is shown in the figure. The mass of the body is 25kg and initial velocity is 2m/s. When the distance covered by the body is 4m, its kinetic energy would be

Solution
Initial KE of the body,
=12mv2=12×25×4=50J
Work done against resistive force, = Area between F−x graph
=12×4×20=40J
Final KE= Initial KE− Work done against resistive force =50−40=10J
