Hi there!
Impulse = Change in momentum
I = Δp = mΔv = m(vf - vi)
Where:
m = mass of object (kg)
vf = final velocity (m/s)
vi = initial velocity (m/s)
Begin by converting grams to kilograms:
1 kg = 1000g ⇒ 145g = .145kg
Now, plug in the given values. Remember to assign directions since velocity is a vector. Let the initial direction be positive and the opposite be negative.
I = (.145)(-20 - 17) = -5.365 Ns
The magnitude is the absolute value, so:
|-5.365| = 5.365 Ns
Answer:
c. about 1/10 as great.
Explanation:
While jumping form a certain height when we bend our knees upon reaching the ground such that the time taken to come to complete rest is increased by 10 times then the impact force gets reduced to one-tenth of the initial value when we would not do so.
This is in accordance with the Newton's second law of motion which states that the rate of change in velocity is directly proportional to the force applied on the body.
Mathematically:
since mass is constant
when 
then,
the body will experience the tenth part of the maximum force.
where:
represents the rate of change in dependent quantity with respect to time
momentum
mass of the person jumping
velocity of the body while hitting the ground.
If the resistance of the Air is ignored, we can use the theory given by Galileo in which he warned that the thermal velocity of a body in free fall was given by
Where
g = Gravitational acceleration
t = time
As we can see the speed of objects in free fall is indifferent to the position that is launched (as long as the resistance of the air is ignored) or its mass.
Both bodies will end with the same thermal speed.
Are you referring to try to get into a college? if you are here is a basic outlay...
