Question

A 1500 kg car accelerats from 55.0 m/s to 90.0 m/s. Calculate the impulse experienced by the car​

Answer 1

Answer:

The impulse experienced by the car is 52,500 kg.m/s.

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the car, m = 1500 kg

initial velocity of the car, u = 55 m/s

final velocity of the car, v = 90 m/s

The impulse experienced by the car is the change in linear momentum, calculated as follows;

J = ΔP = mv  - mu

ΔP = m(v - u)

ΔP = 1500(90 - 55)

ΔP = 52,500 kg.m/s

Therefore, the impulse experienced by the car is 52,500 kg.m/s.
