Question

A 0.080-kg egg test dummy is fitted with a helmet and attached to a swing. This egg test dummy is pulled back and released, allowing it to collide with a cement block. The impulse on the egg test dummy is - 0.39N.s is over an interval of 0.050 s. What is the magnitude of the force on the egg test dummy during this time interval?

Answer 1

Answer:

7.8 N

Explanation:

Applying,

I = Ft................. Eqaution 1

Where I = Impulse on the egg test dummy, F = Force on the egg test dummy during the time interval, t = time interval

make F the subject of the equation

F = I/t.................. Equation 2

From the question,

Given: T = -0.39 N.s, t = 0.050 s

Substitute these vales into equation 2

F = -0.39/0.050

F = -7.8 N

Hence the force that act on the egg test dummy is 7.8 N
