Question

A volleyball experiences 494 Ns of impulse over a time period of 7 seconds. What was the magnitude of the force that acted on the volleyball during this time period?

Answer 1

Answer:

70.6N

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Impulse  = 494Ns

Time  = 7s

Unknown:

Force applied = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem, we use the formula of impulse;

      Impulse = Force x time

Now insert the parameters and solve;

       494  = Force x 7

            Force  = $\frac{494}{7}$  

          Force  = 70.6N
