Q28 of 60 Page 29

The momentum p of a particle changes with time t according to the relation If the momentum is zero at t = 0, what will the momentum be at t = 10 s?

The momentum at time t is given by




Where C is a constant of integration.


Given at t = 0, p=0. Putting it in the above equation,



This implies that C = 0.


So the value of the integration constant is zero and,



Now the momentum at t = 10 s is
