Homework Statement


upload_2015-2-25_0-32-46.png

The variation of the force F with the time t acting on a body of mass 200g is as shown in the graph below
Given that the velocity of the body at t=75ms is 15m/s . What is the velocity of the body at t=150ms
A.15m/s
B.30m/s
C.35m/s
D.39m/s

Homework Equations


F = m Δv/Δt

The Attempt at a Solution


so i calculate the area of ABCDE , and it equal the change of momentum from 75ms to 150ms
the i calculate the momentum of the body in t = 75ms using v = 15m/s and mass of 200g
=> momentum of the body in t = 150ms => v
however i don't get any answer in the choices . please tell me where i was wrong
