The motion of a particle of mass m is given by x = 0 for t < 0 sec, x(t) = A sin 4p t for 0 < t < (1/4) sec, and x = 0 for t > (1/4) sec. Which of the following statements is true? a) the force at t = (1/8) sec on the particle is -16π2Am b) the particle is acted upon by on impulse of magnitude 4π2Am at t = 0 sec and t = (1/4) sec c) the particle is not acted upon by any force d) the particle is not acted upon by a constant force e) there is no impulse acting on the particle

The correct answer is:

a) the force at t = (1/8) sec on the particle is -16π2Am

b) the particle is acted upon by on impulse of magnitude 4π2Am at t = 0 sec and t = (1/4) sec

d) the particle is not acted upon by a constant force
