what are the sentences? but 2/4, could also be 1/2 or a half
1) Determine the horizontal force, Fx, exerted by the block on Usain
cos(20°) = Fx / F => Fx = F*cos(20) = 1700N*cos(20) = 1597.48 N
2) Determine the Impulse of that force on Usain.
I = F*t = 1597.48N * 0.32s = 511.19 N*s
3) Determine change in momentum of Usain, Δp
Δp = I = 511.19 N*s
4) Find change if velocity
Δp = Δ(mV) = mΔV => ΔV = Δp / m = 511.19 N*s / 86 kg = 5.94 m/s
Given the Usain started from rest, the velocity is ΔV - 0 = 5.94 m/s
Answer: 5.94 m/s
You just have to arrange the equation such that the p is the only term at the left hand side of the equation. Express it in terms of r and m.
r = 1/2*m²*p
Divide both left and right hand side equations by 1/2*m²
p = r/(1/2 *m²)
Take the reciprocal of 1/2 and multiply it. The final answer is:
p = 2r/m²
