Q10 of 42 Page 31

The motion of a particle of mass m is given by x = 0 for t < 0 s, x(t) = A sin4π t for 0 < t s, x(t) = A sin 4π t for 0 < t < (1/4) s (A > 0), and x = 0 for t > (1/4) s. Which of the following statements is true?

We have given mass=m, for t<0



Now let’s look for time interval



Also we know,


1st derivative of x(t) w.r.t. time will give velocity



2nd derivative of x(t) w.r.t. time will give velocity



Then,



Here, this force is obviously time dependent so force is not constant hence option (d) is correct.


Now let’s look to option (a) i.e. At t then




So from this we can say option (a) also correct.


Now for option (b) i.e. between t = 0 s and t = (1/4) s, as we know impulse is change in momentum or so at t = (1/4) s impulse will be


here we have to keep in mind that F(t) varies from t=0 to maximum 1/8 s, so F (1/4) will be replaced by F (1/8) also from above we have found



so option(b) is also correct.


Option (c) is absolutely wrong as we have above found that force is acting.


Option (e) is also wrong because we have already calculated the impulse.
