Question

If the area under the graph between the force on an object and time is 20 units, then the object experiences

• A. an impulse of 10 units
• B. a change of momentum of 10 units
• C. an impulse of 20 units
• D. a change of force by 20 units
• E. a change of acceleration of 20 units

Hint:

Logic Tip: Always check the axes of a graph to determine what the area or slope represents. Area = (y-axis unit) $\times$ (x-axis unit). Here, Newton $\times$ seconds = N$\cdot$s, which is the standard unit for both Impulse and Momentum.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C
