A particle of mass 70g, moving at 50cm/s, is acted upon by a variable force opposite to its direction of motion. The force F is shown as a function of time t. Then:
A
its speed will be 50cm/s after the force stops acting

Solution
The correct options are A its direction of motion will reverse B its speed will be 50cm/s after the force stops acting Initial momentum of the particle =(0.07)(0.5)=0.035kgm/s The impulse given to the particle is equal to the area under the F−t graph =0.07kgm/s=2×initial momentum of the particle. Hence, the particle will reverse direction and move with its initial speed.
