Question

Two people push a car for 3 s with a combined net force of 200 N. Calculate the impulse provided to the car. (a) 600 N.s

Answer 1

Given conditions ⇒

Force acting = 200 N.

Time = 3 seconds.

Using the Formula,

Impulse = Force × Velocity

⇒ Impulse = 200 × 3

⇒ Impulse = 600 N-s.

Hence, the Impulse provided to the car is 600 N-s.

Hope it helps.

Answer 2

Given data :

Force = 200 N

Time = 3 seconds

Impulse = ?

Formula : Impulse = Force * Time

=> Impulse = 200 N * 3 seconds

=> Impulse = 600 N . Seconds
