Question

Force$\left(F\right)$ - time$\left(t\right)$ graph is given below. Calculate the impulse experienced by the body.

• A. $5000\text{N-s}$
• B. $6000\text{N-s}$
• C. $4500\text{N-s}$
• D. $3500\text{N-s}$

Answer 1

The correct option is D $3500\text{N-s}$

Impulse $=$ Area under force-time curve

$=(1000\times 2)+\frac{1}{2}\times 1000\times 3$

$=3500\text{N-s}$

Hence, option $\left(D\right)$ is the correct answer.
