Answer:
Impulse of force = -80 Ns
Explanation:
<u>Given the following data;</u>
Mass = 50kg
Initial velocity = 1.6m/s
Since she glides to a stop, her final velocity equals to zero (0).
Now, we would find the change in velocity.
Substituting into the equation above;
Change in velocity = 0 - 1.6 = 1.6m/s
Substituting into the equation, we have;
<em>Impulse of force = -80 Ns</em>
<em>Therefore, the impulse of the force that stops her is -80 Newton-seconds and it has a negative value because it is working in an opposite direction, thus, bringing her to a stop. </em>
