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.

(a) 5.66 m/s
The flow rate of the water in the pipe is given by
where
Q is the flow rate
A is the cross-sectional area of the pipe
v is the speed of the water
Here we have
the radius of the pipe is
r = 0.260 m
So the cross-sectional area is
So we can re-arrange the equation to find the speed of the water:
(b) 0.326 m
The flow rate along the pipe is conserved, so we can write:
where we have
and where is the cross-sectional area of the pipe at the second point.
Solving for A2,
And finally we can find the radius of the pipe at that point:
