Answer:
-20000 kgm/s
Explanation:
Impulse: This can be defined as the product of the mass of a body and its change in velocity. The S.I unit of impulse is kgm/s.
Mathematically, impulse can be expressed as
I = m(v-u).............. Equation 1.
Where I = impulse applied to the car to bring it to rest, m = mass of the car, u = initial velocity of the car, v = final velocity of the car.
Given: m = 1000 kg, u = 20 m/s, v = 0 m/s ( to rest)
Substitute into equation 1
I = 100(0-20)
I = 1000(-20)
I = -20000 kgm/s
Hence the impulse applied to the car to bring it to rest = -20000 kgm/s
