Solution
A body is initially at rest. It undergoes one-dimensional motion with constant acceleration. The power delivered to it at time t is proportional to t.
Explanation:
∵ Acceleration a is constant and u = 0
∴ Force F = ma (is constant) and velocity at time t = ν = at
∴ Power delivered at time t
= P = Fν = (ma)at = (ma2)t
⇒ P ∝ t
