Solution

The correct option is A 7.5
As we know that Force F=dPdt, P is momentum so dP=Fdt where dP is change in momentum due to force F
In other words the momentum imparted by force will be given by the area under the Ft graph
so ΔP=area=smaller rectangle + larger vertical rectangle =10N×(0.50)s+20N×(1.00.5)s
or ΔP=15Ns
so the velocity change is Δv=15Nsmass=7.5m/s
as the mass started from mass so new velocity will be 7.5m/s
