Question

A 2 kg toy car can move along an x axis. Graph shows force Fx, acting on the car which begins at rest at time t = 0. The velocity of the particle at t = 10 s is:

Moderate
Solution

dp = pf-pi = F dt

        = Area under the curve

          pi = 0

Net area = 16-2-2 = 12 N-s

              = Vf = 132 = 6 i^ m/s

[As momentum is positive, particle is moving along positive x axis.]
