A student drops an object from rest above a force plate that records information about the force exerted on the object as a func

tion of time during the time interval in which the object is in contact with the force plate. Which of the following measurements should the student take, in addition to the measurements from the force plate, to determine the change in momentum of the object from immediately before the collision to immediately after the collision?.

The correct answer to what additional measurement the student requires is; D. The student has enough information to make the determination

<h3>Understanding Change in Momentum</h3>

Formula for change in momentum is;

ΔP = m(v - u)

Now, this change in momentum is also equal to impulse which has the formula; Impulse = Force(F) × Time(t)

I = F × t

Thus;

m(v - u) = F × t

Now, we are given;

Force exerted on the object and the time interval. Thus;

ΔP = F × t

Thus, the student has enough information to find the change in momentum

The missing options are;

a. The mass of the object.

b. The final speed of the object MOH 5000

c. The distance fallen by the object

d. The student has enough information to make the determination
