Momentum and Newton's laws of motion — practice question

(a)[1]

Define force in physics.

(b)

A resultant force $F$ acts on an object of mass $2.4\,\text{kg}$. Fig. 2.1 shows how $F$ varies with time $t$. The object starts from rest.

(b(i))[4]

On Fig. 2.2, display quantitatively how the acceleration $a$ of the object changes with $t$. Add suitable y-axis values.

(b(ii))[5]

On Fig. 2.3, display quantitatively how the momentum $p$ of the object varies with $t$. Add suitable y-axis values.

(i)[4]

On Fig. 2.2, display quantitatively how the acceleration $a$ of the object changes with $t$. Add suitable y-axis values.

(ii)[5]

On Fig. 2.3, display quantitatively how the momentum $p$ of the object varies with $t$. Add suitable y-axis values.
