A particle of mass 500 g is at rest. It is free to move along a straight line. The power delivered to the particle varies with time according to the following graph

The momentum of the particle at \(t=5 \mathrm{~s}\) is

  1. A \(2 \sqrt{5} \mathrm{~N}-\mathrm{s}\)
  2. B \(5 \sqrt{2} \mathrm{~N}-\mathrm{S}\)
  3. C \(5 \mathrm{~N}-\mathrm{S}\)
  4. D \(5.5 \mathrm{~N}-\mathrm{s}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(5 \mathrm{~N}-\mathrm{S}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation


Area under \(P\)-t graph is equal to work done (or change in kinetic energy)
\(\therefore \Delta k=\frac{P^2}{2 m}=\) area of region \(O A B C\)
\(\Rightarrow \frac{P^2}{2 m}=\frac{(2+8) 5}{2}\)
\(\Rightarrow \frac{P^2}{2 \times 0.5}=25 \quad[\because m=500 \mathrm{~g}=0.5 \mathrm{~kg}]\)
\(\Rightarrow P^2=25 \Rightarrow P=5 \mathrm{~kg} \mathrm{~ms}^{-1}\)
