A body of $2\, kg$ has an initial speed $5ms^{-1}$. A force acts on it for some time in the direction of motion. The force time graph is shown in figure. The final speed of the body.  .......... $m{s^{ - 1}}$

Impulse = Change in momentum $ = m({v_2} - {v_1})$…(i)

Again impulse = Area between the graph and time axis $ = \frac{1}{2} \times 2 \times 4 + 2 \times 4 + \frac{1}{2}(4 + 2.5) \times 0.5 + 2 \times 2.5$

$ = 4 + 8 + 1.625 + 5$ $ = 18.625$...(ii) 

From (i) and (ii), $m({v_2} - {v_1}) = 18.625$ 

 $⇒$ ${v_2} = \frac{{18.625}}{m} + {v_1} = \frac{{18.625}}{2} + 5 = 14.25\;m/s$
