A 5 kg object slows from +6 m/s to +2 m/s. What is the impulse?
1 answer:
Impulse on the object: -20 kg m/s
Explanation:
The impulse exerted on an object is a vector quantity equal to the product between the force exerted on the object and the time interval during which the force is applied.
The impulse exerted on an object is also equal to its change in momentum. Mathematically,
where:
m is the mass of the object
u is the initial velocity
v is the final velocity
For the object in this problem, we have
m = 5 kg
u = +6 m/s
v = +2 m/s
Therefore, its impulse is:
The negative sign means the direction of the impulse is opposite to the direction of motion of the object.

Answer:
The ballon would be inflated. The reason is that the sodium bicarbonate in baking soda reacts with acetic acid in vinegar to produce gas.
Explanation:
The main component of baking soda is sodium bicarbonate, .
Vinegar is mostly a solution of acetic acid in water.
Acids such as acetic acid react with carbonate salts. One of the products of such reactions is carbon dioxide , a gas.
In this question, when the acetic acid in vinegar reacts with sodium bicarbonate in the baking soda, the following reaction would occur:
.
The produced would then inflate the ballon placed on the opening of the bottle.
