A 28-kg beginning roller skater is standing in front of a wall. By pushing against the wall, she is propelled backward with a ve

locity of -1.2 m/s. While pushing, her hands are in contact with the wall for 0.80 s. Ignoring frictional effects, find the magnitude and direction of the impulse acting on the skater.

Answer:

33.6 Ns backward.

Explanation:

Impulse: This can be defined as the product of force and time. The S.I unit of impulse is Ns.

From Newton's second law of motion,

Impulse = change in momentum

I = mΔv................................. Equation 1

Where I = impulse, m = mass of the skater, Δv = change in velocity = final velocity - initial velocity.

Given: m = 28 kg, t = 0.8 s, Δv = -1.2-0 = -1.2 m/s (Note: the initial velocity of the skater = 0 m/s)

Substituting into equation 1

I = 28(-1.2)

I = -33.6 Ns

Thus the impulse = 33.6 Ns backward.

The velocity - time graph of a ball of mass 25g moving on road is as given below:
lana [24]
Assume that the ball rolls to the right.

From the velocity-time graph, the acceleration is
a = (0 - 10 m/s)/(4 - 0 s) = -2.5 m/²

Part (a)
Because the mass of the ball is 25g or 0.025 kg, the force that the road exerts on the ball is
F = (0.025 kg)*(-2.5 m/s²) = -0.0625 N
The force is negative because it acts in opposition to the motion of the ball.

Answer:  0.0625 N to the left.

Part (b)
The direction of the force exerted by the road is to the left because it opposes the motion of the ball to the right.

Part (c)
The unit force is 1 N (Newton), with the dimension (kg-m)/s².
