  1. The kinetic energy acquired by a mass (m) in travelling distance (s) starting from rest under the action of a constant force is directly proportional to
    1. 1 / √m
    2. 1/m
    3. m
    4. m0
Correct Option: D

K.E. =
1
mv2
2

Further, ​ v2 = u2 + 2as = 0 + 2ad = 2ad
= 2(F / m)d
Hence , K.E. =
1
m × 2(F / m)d = Fd
2

or, K.E. acquired = Work done ​ 
= F × d = constant. ​i.e., it is independent of mass m.
