    A body of mass 10 kg moves with a velocity\[v\] of 2 m/s along a circular path of radius 8 m. The power produced by the body will be

    A)  \[10J/s\]          

    B)  \[98J/s\]

    C)  \[49J/s\]          

    D)  zero

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

     Power is defined as rate of change of energy in a system or the time rate of doing work. \[P=\frac{dE}{dt}\] \[=\frac{dW}{dt}\] Also work = force\[\times \]displacement\[=F\times d\] In a circular motion, displacement is zero, therefore, \[P=\frac{d}{dt}(F\times d)\] \[=\frac{d}{dt}(0)=0\]
