Question

Recall that impulse = momentum (FAt = Ap and that Ap is just mx v). How long (time) must a group of people pull with a force of 600N on a stalled 1500kg car to give it a velocity of 1.5m/s? Report your answer to the nearest hundredth (X.XX)​

Answer 1

The time taken for the group of people to pull the car, giving it a velocity of 1.5 m/s is 3.75 s

Momentum is simply defined as the product of mass and velocity i.e

Momentum = mass × velocity

To answer the question given, we'll begin by calculating the change in momentum. This can be obtained as follow:

Mass = 1500 Kg

Initial velocity (u) = 0 m/s

Final velocity (v) = 1.5 m/s

Change in momentum =?

Change in momentum = m(v – u)

Change in momentum = 1500 (1.5 – 0)

Change in momentum = 1500 × 1.5

Change in momentum = 2250 Kg•m/s

Finally, we shall determine the time

Change in momentum = 2250 Kg•m/s

Force (F) = 600 N

Time (t) =?

Impulse = Ft = change in momentum

FT = change in momentum

600 × t = 2250

Divide both side by 600

t = 2250 / 600

t = 3.75 s

Thus, the time required is 3.75 s
