Question

A 3kg object moving at 4 m/s encounters a 20 N resistive force over a duration of 0.20 seconds. The impulse experienced by this object is _____

Answer 1

Answer:

the impulse experienced by this object is 4 Ns

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the object, m = 3 kg

velocity of the object, v = 4 m/s

resistive force, F = 20 N

duration of impact, t = 0.2 s

The impulse experienced by this object is calculated as follows;

J = F x t

J = 20 x 0.2

J = 4 Ns

Therefore, the impulse experienced by this object is 4 Ns
