The linear momentum p of a body moving in

Your Ultimate Guide to JEE & NEET Question Solutions

The linear momentum $p$ of a body moving in one dimension varies with time according to the equation $p = a + b{t^2}$ where a and b are positive constants. The net force acting on the body is

A

A constant

B

Proportional to ${t^2}$

C

Inversely proportional to t

D

Proportional to t

The linear momentum $p$ of a body moving in one dimension varies with time according to the equation $p = a + b{t^2}$ where a and b are positive constants. The net force acting on the body is

$F = \frac{{dp}}{{dt}}\bar = \frac{d}{{dt}}(a + b{t^2}) = 2bt$

$\therefore F \propto t$
