In the adjoining figure, the position-time graph of a particle of mass 0.1 kg is shown. The impulse at \( t = 2 \) s is
Show Hint
Impulse is the change in momentum, which can be found from the area under a force-time graph or from the change in velocity in position-time graphs.

- 0.1 kg m/s
- 0.2 kg m/s
- 0.4 kg m/s
Hide Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is C
Solution and Explanation
Step 1: Impulse and momentum.
Impulse is the change in momentum. The momentum is given by \( p = mv \). We can calculate the change in momentum from the position-time graph and find that the impulse is 0.2 kg m/s.
Step 2: Conclusion.
The impulse at \( t = 2 \) s is 0.2 kg m/s, which corresponds to option (3).

- The Hamiltonian for a one-dimensional system with mass \( m \), position \( q \), and momentum \( p \) is: \[ H(p, q) = \frac{p^2}{2m} + q^2 A(q) \] where \( A(q) \) is a real function of \( q \). If \[ m \frac{d^2 q}{dt^2} = -5q A(q), \] then \[ \frac{d A(q)}{d q} = n \frac{A(q)}{q}. \] The value of \( n \) (in integer) is:

\[ \begin{array}{|l|l|} \hline \textbf{List-I} & \textbf{List-II} \\ \hline (A) \; P \text{ and } Q \text{ are two perpendicular forces, acting at a point} & (I) \; R = |P - Q| \\ (B) \; P \text{ and } Q \text{ are equal, forces acting at a point at an angle } \alpha & (II) \; R = P + Q \\ (C) \; P \text{ and } Q \text{ are acting at a point in same direction} & (III) \; R = 2P \cos(\tfrac{\alpha}{2}) \\ (D) \; P \text{ and } Q \text{ are acting at a point in opposite direction} & (IV) \; R = \sqrt{P^2 + Q^2} \\ \hline \end{array} \]
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
- Two forces acting at a point of a body are equilibrium if and only if they
(A) are equal in magnitude
(B) have same direction
(C) have opposite direction
(D) act along the same straight line
(E) are not equal in magnitude but have same direction
Choose the correct answer from the options given below: - If three forces of magnitudes 8 newtons, 5 newtons and 4 newtons acting a point are in equilibrium, then the angle between the two smaller forces is
