Answer:

Momentum is given by

p

=

m

v

. Impulse is the change of momentum,

I

=

Δ

p

and is also equal to force times time:

I

=

F

t

. Rearranging,

F

=

I

t

=

Δ

p

t

=

0

.

Explanation:

Momentum before the collision is

p

=

m

v

=

2000

⋅

=

k

g

m

s

−

1

.

Assuming the truck comes to a complete halt, the momentum after the collision is

0

k

g

m

s

−

1

.

The change in momentum,

Δ

p

, is initial minus final

→

0

−

This is called the impulse:

I

=

Δ

p

. Impulse is also equal (check the units) to force times time:

I

=

F

t

.

We can rearrange this expression to make

F

the subject:

F

=

I

t

=

Δ

p

t

The negative sign just means the force acting is in the opposite direction to the initial momentum.

(This will be the average force acting during the collision: collisions are chaotic so the force is unlikely to be constant.)

What is the surface area to volume ratio of this cube
tamaranim1 [39]

I can't see that cube from here.

But if the length of the side of the cube is ' K ' units,
then the surface area of the cube is  6K² units², and
the volume of the cube is  K³ units³.

The ratio of the surface area to the volume is

               (6K² units²) / (K³ units³)  =  (6) / (K units) .

So for example, if the side of the cube is 2 inches, then
the ratio of surface area to volume is  "3 per inch".

That's the answer.  I did the whole thing in order to earn
the points, but I don't expect you to understand much of it,
because I see from your username that you suck at math.
I'm sorry you decided that.  Now that you've put up the
brick wall, it'll be even harder for any math to find its way
in there, and you'll miss out on a lot of the fun.
