Momentum and Newton's laws of motion — practice question

A glider with mass $1500\,\text{kg}$ is set off from rest along a straight, level track by means of a catapult. The graph illustrates how the resultant force changes with time. What is the glider’s speed at the instant the resultant force on it becomes zero?

  • A$133\,\text{m s}^{-1}$
  • B$200\,\text{m s}^{-1}$
  • C$250\,\text{m s}^{-1}$
  • D$267\,\text{m s}^{-1}$
