Question

What is the impulse on a 45,000 kg airplane when it changes its velocity

from 242 m/s to 258 m/s?*

Answer 1

=720000kgm/s

Step-by-step explanation:

The impuse is equivalent to the rate of change of momentum which is expressed below as

Impulse= mv2 - mv1

=m(V2 - V1)

V1= initial velocity= 242 m/s

V2=final velocity= 258 m/s?

m= mass of the plane =45,000 kg

Then if we input the values, we have,

= 45000(258-242)

=720000kgm/s

Hence,the impulse on a 45,000 kg airplane is 720000kgm/s
