A force of 10 N acts on a body of mass 0.5 kg for 0.25 second starting from rest. What is its momentum now?
- 2.5 N/s
- 0.25 N/s
- 0.5 N/s
- 0.75 N/s
The Correct Option is A
Approach Solution - 1
Given :
F = 10 N
m = 0.5 kg
Δt = 0.25s
As we know Impulse, I = pf - pi
So, I = F × Δt
= 10 × 0.25
= 2.5 N/s
So, the correct option is (A) : 2.5 N/s
Approach Solution -2
Ft = mV2 - mV1
⇒ 10 × 0.25
= Pt - Pi
⇒ Pt = 2.5
So, the correct option is (A) : 2.5 N/s
Top Questions on laws of motion
The driver sitting inside a parked car is watching vehicles approaching from behind with the help of his side view mirror, which is a convex mirror with radius of curvature \( R = 2 \, \text{m} \). Another car approaches him from behind with a uniform speed of 90 km/hr. When the car is at a distance of 24 m from him, the magnitude of the acceleration of the image of the side view mirror is \( a \). The value of \( 100a \) is _____________ m/s\(^2\).

Concepts Used:
Laws of Motion
The laws of motion, which are the keystone of classical mechanics, are three statements that defined the relationships between the forces acting on a body and its motion. They were first disclosed by English physicist and mathematician Isaac Newton.
Newton’s First Law of Motion
Newton’s 1st law states that a body at rest or uniform motion will continue to be at rest or uniform motion until and unless a net external force acts on it.
Newton’s Second Law of Motion
Newton's 2nd law of motion deals with the relation between force and acceleration. According to the second law of motion, the acceleration of an object as built by a net force is directly proportional to the magnitude of the net force, in the same direction as the net force, and inversely proportional to the mass of the object.
Newton’s Third Law of Motion
Newton's 3rd law of motion states when a body applies a force on another body that there is an equal and opposite reaction for every action.
