The variation of momentum with the time of one of the bodies in a two-body collision is shown in fig. The instantaneous force is maximum corresponding to point:
Options:
P
Q
R
S
Correct Answer:
R
Explanation:
The slope of momentum vs time is the force i.e F=$\frac{dP}{dt}$, so the force is maximum when the slope of the graph is maximum. In the given graph slope is maximum at R.
