Under the action of a force, a $2 \,kg$ body moves such that its position $x$ as a function of time $t$ is given by $x = \alpha t^2 / 2$, where $x$ is in meters, $t$ is in seconds, and $\alpha = 1 \,m/s^2$. The work done by the force in the first two seconds is: (in $\,J$)

  • A
    $4$
  • B
    $16$
  • C
    $40$
  • D
