Problem
A body is moved along a straight line by a machine delivering constant power. The distance moved by the body in time is proportional to a. b. c. d.Intuitive explanation
The key insight is that constant power means stays fixed, so as the body accelerates, the force must decrease. Since and power is constant, you'll get a differential equation linking velocity to time—and integrating that relationship will show how distance scales with time. The trick is recognizing that under constant power, the work-energy theorem () is your most direct path.
