Physics Work, Energy, Power and Collision Mix MCQ (Single Correct)

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.

A
Its speed will be 50 cm/s after the force stops acting.
B
Its direction of motion will reverse.
C
Its average acceleration will be 1 m/s 2 during the interval in which the force acts.
D
Its average acceleration will be 10 m/s 2 during the interval in which the force acts.

The 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.
