Answer : (1)
Q. 13. A missile is fired for maximum range with an initial velocity of 20 m/s. If g = 10 m/s2 , the range of the missile is
(1) 20 m (2) 40 m
(3) 50 m (4) 60 m

Q. 14. Force F on a particle moving in a straight line varies with distance d as shown in the figure. The work done on the particle during its displacement of 12 m is
(1) 13 J (2) 18 J
(3) 21 J (4) 26 J
Sol.
Work = Area under (F – d) graph
= 8 + 5 = 13 J
