    A ball of mass 0.5 kg is moving with a velocity \[v\]of 2 m/s. It is subjected to a force of\[x\] newton in 2 s. Because of this force, the ball moves with velocity of 3 m/s. The value of\[x\] is

    A)  5 N              

    B)  8.25 N

    C)  0.25 N          

    D)  1.0 N

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

     If a constant force F is applied on a body for a short interval of time\[\Delta t,\] then the impulse of this force is\[F\Delta t\]. When mass of body is m, an applying force F, for a time interval\[\Delta t,\]the body suffers a velocity change\[\Delta v,\]then \[F=ma=m\frac{\Delta v}{\Delta t}\Rightarrow F\Delta t=m\Delta v\] Given,\[F=x\]newton. At \[\Delta t=2s,{{v}_{1}}=2m/s,\] \[{{v}_{2}}=3m/s,\text{ }m=0.5kg\] \[\therefore \] \[x\times 2=0.5\times 1\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[x=\frac{0.5}{2}=0.25\,N\]
