A particle of mass 50 g moves on a straight line. The variation of speed with time is shown in figure (5-E1). Find the force acting on the particle at t =2, 4 and 6 seconds.

Given mass = ![]()
Slope for region at t=2s, is ![]()
Slope for region at t=4s, is ![]()
Slope for region at t=6s, is ![]()
Slopes represent acceleration.
Thus, at time
, ![]()
Force
in the direction of motion.
Thus, at time
, ![]()
Force ![]()
Thus, at time
, ![]()
Force
in the opposite direction of motion.
