Mechanics}Impulse

Impulse is defined as J=\int F dt. But, for this problem, one doesn't have to evaluate a messy integral. Instead, the area under the curve is just the sum of two triangles. J=2\frac{1}{2}(2)(1)=2kgm/s, as in choice (C).

Better yet, it's one triangle :P \frac{1}{2}*2*2 = 2 kg m/s.Alternate Solution - Unverified

I mean . . . . when you look at it, it just screams area under the curve scenario. . . so you just do area of triangle.NEC

better yet, you can write the equations of the lines F = 2t on [0,1] and F = -t+4 on [1,2] and simply sum the integrals! j/k

better yet, put the triangles together and it's one rectange with A=x\cdot y = 1 \cdot 2NEC
