A car is pushed with a force of 450 N for 19.4 seconds. What impulse was applied to the car?
1 answer:
Answer:
impulse = 8820 kg· or 8820 N·s
Explanation:
Impulse J is equal to the average force multiplied by the elapsed time Δt or in equation form, J =
Δt
As long as your force of 450 N is constant then that value is your average force and your elapsed time is 19.4 seconds.
Multiply these values.
You will get an impulse of 8820 kg· or 8820 N·s.

Answer:
a)
Explanation:
- Since the car speeds up at a constant rate, we can use the kinematic equation for distance (assuming that the initial position is x=0, and choosing t₀ =0), as follows:
- Since the car starts from rest, v₀ =0.
- We know the value of t = 5 sec., but we need to find the value of a.
- Applying the definition of acceleration, as the rate of change of velocity with respect to time, and remembering that v₀ = 0 and t₀ =0, we can solve for a, as follows:
- Replacing a and t in (1):
- Now, if the truck slows down at a constant rate also, we can use (1) again, noting that v₀ is not equal to zero anymore.
- Since we have the values of vf (it's zero because the truck stops), v₀, and t, we can find the new value of a, as follows:
- Replacing v₀, at and t in (1), we have:
- Therefore, as the truck travels twice as far as the car, the right answer is a).
