Momentum and Newton's laws of motion — practice question

A block is travelling on a horizontal frictionless surface. While it moves in the direction of the force $F$, a constant force $F$ and a constant resistive force of $5.0\ \text{N}$ act on the block, as shown. The graph illustrates how the momentum of the block changes with time. What magnitude does force $F$ have?

  • A$2.0\ \text{N}$
  • B$3.0\ \text{N}$
  • C$5.0\ \text{N}$
  • D$8.0\ \text{N}$
