Solution :
Given weight of Kathy = 82 kg
Her speed before striking the water, = 5.50 m/s
Her speed after entering the water, = 1.1 m/s
Time = 1.65 s
Using equation of impulse,
Here, F = the force ,
dT = time interval over which the force is applied for
= 1.65 s
dP = change in momentum
dP = m x dV
= 82 x (1.1 - 5.5)
= -360 kg
∴ the net force acting will be
= 218 N
Answer:
0.001 s
Explanation:
The force applied on an object is equal to the rate of change of momentum of the object:
where
F is the force applied
is the change in momentum
is the time interval
The change in momentum can be written as
where
m is the mass
v is the final velocity
u is the initial velocity
So the original equation can be written as
In this problem:
m = 5 kg is the mass of the fist
u = 9 m/s is the initial velocity
v = 0 is the final velocity
F = -45,000 N is the force applied (negative because its direction is opposite to the motion)
Therefore, we can re-arrange the equation to solve for the time:
