AIIMS 2019 Physics Impulse and Momentum MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-numerical-Medium-Class 11

A gun applies a force F\text{F} on a bullet which is given by F=(1000.5×105t)N\text{F} = \left(100 - 0.5 \times 10^5\text{t}\right)\text{N}. The bullet emerges out with speed 400 m/s400\text{ m/s}. Then find out the impulse exerted till force on bullet becomes zero.

A

0.2 Ns0.2\text{ N}-\text{s}

B

0.3 Ns0.3\text{ N}-\text{s}

C

0.1 Ns0.1\text{ N}-\text{s}

D

0.4 Ns0.4\text{ N}-\text{s}

Correct Answer

Option C

Detailed Explanation

The impulse II is calculated by integrating the force F=(1000.5×105t)F = (100 - 0.5 \times 10^5 t) over time, which yields I=Fdt=[100t(0.5×105t2)]I = \int F \, dt = [100t - (0.5 \times 10^5 t^2)]. Evaluating this from t=0t = 0 to t=2×103t = 2 \times 10^{-3} seconds gives I=0.1NsI = 0.1 \, \text{Ns}, confirming that option A is correct. Options B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not match the calculated impulse value, demonstrating the importance of careful integration and evaluation in determining impulse from varying forces.
