Laws of Motion - Result Question 2

2. The force ’ F ’ acting on a particle of mass ’ m ’ is indicated by the force-time graph shown below. The change in momentum of the particle over the time interval from zero to 8s is :

[2014]

(a) 24Ns

(b) 20Ns

(c) 12Ns

(d) 6Ns

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: 2. (c)

Solution:

  1. (c) Change in momentum,

Δp= Fdt = Area of F-t graph = ar of Δ ar of + ar of =12×2×63×2+4×3=12Ns

According to Newton’s 2nd law. FdpdtF =Kdpdt or, F=dpdt[k=1 in S.I & CGS system ] And dp=Fdt
