Chapter 9, Problem 79A

To determine

To explain:The motion of an object after impulses A,B and C.

Explanation of Solution

Given:

An object is initially at rest.

The given graph representing the impulses experienced by an object is shown below.

From the force versus time graph, an impulse can be determined. The area under the force time graph gives impulse. The motion of an object after different time is,

After time A, the velocity of object is constant and positive.

After time B, the velocity of object is zero and object comes to rest.

After time C, the velocity of an object is constant and negative.
