Question

Over 4 seconds, a car's momentum decreases by 1000 kg m/s how much force did it take to make this happen?

Answer 1

Answer:

250N

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Time  = 4s

Momentum  = 1000kgm/s

Unknown:

Force  = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem, we use Newton's second law of motion;

      Ft  = Momentum

F is the force

t is the time

So;

          F x 4 = 1000kgm/s

          F  = 250N
