Answer:
Time = 0.58 seconds
Explanation:
Given the following data;
Initial momentum = 3 kgm/s
Final momentum = 10 kgm/s
Force = 12 N
To find the time required for the change in momentum;
First of all, we would determine the change in momentum.
Change in momentum = 7 kgm/s
Now, we can find the time required;
Note: the impulse of an object is equal to the change in momentum experienced by the object.
Mathematically, impulse (change in momentum) is given by the formula;
Making "time" the subject of formula, we have;
Substituting into the formula, we have;
Time = 0.58 seconds
