Question

A 150 kg boy and his bike are traveling 12 m/s when he slams on his breaks and stop at his friend’s house. How much impulse is required to produce this change in momentum?
Please someone help me with this I’ll give brainliest

Answer 1

Answer:

J = 1800 kg-m/s

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of a boy, m = 150 kg

Initial velocity of a boy, u = 12 m/s

Finally, it stops, v = 0

We need to find the impulse is required to produce this change in momentum. We know that impulse is equal to the change in momentum. So,

$J=m(v-u)\\\\=150\times (0-12)\\\\=-1800\ kg-m/s\\\\|J|=1800\ kg-m/s$

So, the impulse is equal to 1800 kg-m/s
