Solution

The correct option is C
Given that,
force (F)= constant
Let, m= mass of the body
a= acceleration of body due to force F
a=Fm
and v=u+at
v=u+(Fm)t (as u=0)
v=Fmt
Instantaneous power (P)=F.v
=F.Fmt=(F2m)t (Both F & v have same direction)
P=F2mt
P t ( F and m is constant)
i.e. P-t graph is a straight line passing through origin.
Tips: For constant force, rate of power generation or dissipation is constant for a given mass.
