Question

A 34.0 kg sled is accelerated by a constant force of 45.0 N from 2.00 m/s to 16.00 m/s. For how long was the force acting on the wagon?

Answer 1

Answer: 10.6 sec

Explanation:

Because I got it right on my quiz :D

also because you can use the impulse momentum formula, Ft=m(triangle)v

so basically u do 16m/s-2m/s=14m/s and thats your triangle v (change in velocity) then multiply 14 times the mass, which is 34. Thats 476, so now you have ft=476, and you know F, the force, so all you have to do is divide 476 by 45, and you get like 10.5777777 which rounds up to 10.6!
