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:
In a controlled experiment, an independent variable (the cause) is systematically manipulated and the dependent variable (the effect) is measured; any extraneous variables are controlled. The researcher can operationalize (i.e. define) the variables being studied so they can be objectivity measured.
Is mantle plate versus lithospheric plate ,one of the choices.?
