  1. A car of mass m starts from rest and accelerates so that the instantaneous power delivered to the car has a constant magnitude Po. The instantaneous velocity of this car is proportional to :​​​
    1. t2Po
    2. t1 / 2
    3. t–1/2
    4. t
      m
Correct Option: B

Constant power of car P0 = F.V = ma.v

P0 = m
dv
.v
dt

P0 dt = mv dv
Integrating
P0 t =
mv2
2

∵ P0 , m and 2 are constant
∴ v ∝ √t
