Impulse = (force) x (time)
The first impulse was (20 N) x (10 sec) = 200 meters/sec
The second one is (50 N) x (time) and we want it equal to the first one, so
(50 N) x (time) = 200 meters/sec
Divide each side by 50N : Time = 200/50 = <em>4 seconds</em>
By the way, the quantity we're playing with here is the cart's <em>momentum</em>.
A = delta v over delta t delta v is calculated with final velocity less initial velocity then delta v is equals to 20 - 0 that is 20m/s and to calculate delta t is like delta v is final time less initial time as initial time always is 0 the delta t is equals to 10s then a = 20/10 then acceleration is 10m/s^2 (remember that is squared)
Where the answer choice then i can answer it
