Answer:

Option C.

Impulse = mass × change in velocity

Explanation:

Impulse is defined by the following the following formula:

Impulse = force (F) × time (t)

Impulse = Ft

From Newton's second law of motion,

Force = change in momentum /time

Cross multiply

Force × time = change in momentum

Recall:

Impulse = Force × time

Thus,

Impulse = change in momentum

Recall:

Momentum = mass x velocity

Momentum = mv

Chang in momentum = mass × change in velocity

Change in momentum = mΔv

Thus,

Impulse = change in momentum

Impulse = mass × change in velocity

The gravitational field is the Force divided by the mass

Call g the gravitational fiel, F the force exerted by the earth and m the mass of the telescope.

g = F / m

g=9.1x10^4 N / 1.1 x 10^4 kg = 8.27 N/kg

Note that the unit N/kg is equivalent to m/s^2

Nata [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

Each student exert a force of $F=400 N$

Let mass of car be m

there are 18 students who lifts the car

Total force by 18 students $F=18\times 400=7200 N$

therefore weight of car $W=7200$

mass of car $m=\frac{W}{g}$

$m=\frac{7200}{9.8}=734.69 kg$

(b) $7200 N \approx 1618.624\ Pound-force$

$734.69 kg\approx 1619.71 Pounds$
