The figure shows the position –time (x – t) graph of one–dimensional motion of a body of mass 0.4 kg. The magnitude of each impulse is
0.4 (Ns)
0.8 Ns
1.6 Ns
1.6 Ns
B.
0.8 Ns
From the graph it is a straight line, so uniform motion. Because of impulse direction of velocity changes as can be seen from the slope of the graph.
(∴ impulse (l) = f x t
⇒ I = mat
Initial velocity, v1 = 2/2 = 1 ms-1
Final velocity v2 = 2/2 = - 1 ms-1
pi = mv1 = 0.4 N-s
pf = mv2 = -0.4 N-s
J = pf-pi = -0.4-0.4
= - 0.8 N-s
|J| = 0.8 N-s
An object moving with a speed of 6.25m/s, is decelerated at a rate given by dv/dt =- 2.5√v, where v is the instantaneous speed. The time taken by the object, to come to rest, would be
2 s
4 s
8 s
8 s
