The figure shows the position-time graph of one-dimensional motion of a body of mass 0.4 kg. The magnitude of each impulse is

Options
- A(0.4 \mathrm{~N}-\mathrm{s})
- B(0.8 \mathrm{~N}-\mathrm{s})
- C(1.6 \mathrm{~N}-\mathrm{s})
- D(0.2 \mathrm{~N}-\mathrm{s})
Correct answer
B. (0.8 \mathrm{~N}-\mathrm{s})
Step-by-step solution
From the graph, it is a straight line so, it represents uniform motion. Because of impulse direction of velocity changes as can be seen from the slope of the graph.
Initial velocity, (v_1=\frac{2}{2}=1 \mathrm{~ms}^{-1})
Final velocity, (v_2=\frac{-2}{2}=-1 \mathrm{~ms}^{-1})
