Question

Area under the force-time graph gives the change in

• A. velocity
• B. acceleration
• C. angular momentum
• D. linear momentum
• E. impulsive force

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

The area under the force-time graph represents the impulse imparted by the force, which is equal to the change in momentum.

According to the impulse-momentum theorem, the impulse is the product of the average force and the time over which it acts, and it is equal to the change in linear momentum (\( \Delta p \)): \[ \text{Impulse} = F \cdot \Delta t = \Delta p \] So, the area under a force-time graph gives the change in linear momentum, not angular momentum.

Correct Answer:

Correct Answer: (D) Linear momentum
