A particle of mass 70 g, moving at 50 cm/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.

Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
CHECK THE SOLUTION.
(a, b)
The impulse given to the particle is equal to the area under the F – t graph = 0.07 kg m/s = 2 × initial momentum of the particle. Hence, the particle will reverse in direction and move with its initial speed.
