In two different experiments, an object of mass 5 kg moving with a speed of 25 ms - 1 hits two different walls and comes to rest within (i) 3 second, (ii) 5 seconds, respectively. Choose the correct option out of the following :
Options
- AImpulse and average force acting on the object will be same for both the cases.
- BImpulse will be same for both the cases but the average force will be different.
- CAverage force will be same for both the cases but the impulse will be different.
- DAverage force and impulse will be different for both the cases.
Correct answer
B. Impulse will be same for both the cases but the average force will be different.
Step-by-step solution
Impulse = Change in momentum I = Δ P Therefore, in both the cases the impulse is same. Average force is defined as, F avg   = Δ P Δ t Since the time in the two cases is different, the average force will be different.
