Answer:

v_f = 0.87 m/s

Explanation:

We are given;

F_avg = -17700 N (negative because it's backward)

m = 117 kg

Δt = 5.50 × 10^(−2) s

v_i = 7.45 m/s

Now, formula for impulse is given by;

I = F•Δt = - 17700 x 5.50 × 10^(−2) = - 973.5 kg.m/s

From impulse momentum theory, we know that;

Change in momentum of particle is equal to impulse.

Thus,

Δp = I = m•v_f - m•v_i

Thus,

-973.5= 117(v_f - 7.45)

Thus,

-973.5/117 = (v_f - 7.45)

-8.3205 + 7.45 = v_f

v_f = - 0.87 m/s

We'll take absolute value as;

v_f = 0.87 m/s

Write one example of a physical change and one example chemical change
mojhsa [17]
Physical change = changes the physical properties (more commonly known as it's look)
Chemical change = changes the chemical properties into an entire new chemical form
Examples of physical change would be melting ice cubes or sugar cubes.
Examples of chemical change would be cooking eggs or burning paper because you're changing its chemical properties.
