A particle of mass m, initially at rest, i

Your Ultimate Guide to JEE & NEET Question Solutions

A particle of mass $m$, initially at rest, is acted upon by a variable force $F$ for a brief interval of time $T$. It begins to move with a velocity $u$ after the force stops acting. $F$ is shown in the graph as a function of time. The curve is a semicircle.

A

$u = \frac{{\pi F_0^2}}{{2m}}$

B

$u = \frac{{\pi {T^2}}}{{8m}}$

C

$u = \frac{{\pi {F_0}T}}{{4m}}$

D

$u = \frac{{{F_0}T}}{{2m}}$

A particle of mass $m$, initially at rest, is acted upon by a variable force $F$ for a brief interval of time $T$. It begins to move with a velocity $u$ after the force stops acting. $F$ is shown in the graph as a function of time. The curve is a semicircle.

Initially particle was at rest. By the application of force its momentum increases. Final momentum of the particle $ = $ Area of $F - t$ graph

$⇒$ $mu = $ Area of semi circle

$mu = \frac{{\pi \;{r^2}}}{2}$

$ = \frac{{\pi \;{r_1}{r_2}}}{2}$

$ = \frac{{\pi \;({F_0})\;(T/2)}}{2}$

$⇒$ $u = \frac{{\pi \;{F_0}T}}{{4m}}$
