Question

The linear impulse delivered by the hit of a boxer is 202 N · s during the 0.244 s of contact. What is the magnitude of the average force exerted on the glove by the other boxer? Answer in units of N.

Answer 1

Answer: Magnitude of the average force exerted on the glove by the other boxer is 827.86 N (approximately 828 N).

Explanation: Impulse is defined as the force acting on an object for a short period or interval of time.

Mathematically it is given by the relation:

Impulse = Force $\times$ Time

According to the numerical values given in the question, I = 202 Ns and T = 0.244 s

So, Force F = $\frac{Impulse}{Time}$ = $\frac{202}{0.244}$ = 827.86 N

Magnitude of the average force exerted on the glove by the other boxer is 827.86 N (approximately 828 N).
