  1. The force ‘F’ acting on a particle of mass ‘m’ is indicated by the force-time graph shown below. The change in momentum of the particle over the time interval from zero to 8 s is :​[2014]
    1. ​24 Ns
    2. 20 Ns
    3. ​12 Ns
    4. ​6 Ns
Correct Option: C

Change in momentum,
∆p​= ∫Fdt
= Area of F-t graph
= ar of ∆ – ar of ☐ + ar of ☐

=
1
&time; 2 × 6 - 3 × 2 + 4 × 3 = 12 N-s
