Net force \(F\) as a function of time \(t\).
Net force \(F\) as a function of time \(t\).
An object of mass \(m\) is initially at rest on a frictionless horizontal surface at time \(t = 0\). Starting at \(t = 0\), a time-dependent net horizontal force \(F(t) = F_0 \sin\left(\dfrac{2\pi}{T}t\right)\) is applied to the object over the interval \(0 \le t \le T\), as shown in the graph. Which of the following graphs best represents the momentum \(p\) of the object as a function of time \(t\) over this interval?
