Question

Determine the value of impulse from this graph of momentum vs time

Answer 1

try 12 Newton seconds

Explanation:

I think it's going to be 12 because if you find the slope of the first line you get 1 Newton and the slope of the second line is -1 Newton's. so that means there is a change of -2 newtons. so if you multiply -2 Newton's by the 6 seconds you -12 Newton seconds. let me know if this is correct as it's been a while since I've done this type of stuff.

Answer 2

The value of impulse is 9 N-s.

Explanation:

The momentum vs time graph shows the impulse

Impulse :

Impulse is the product of force and time.

In mathematical terms,

`I= F\Delta t`

Where, F = force

t = time

According to graph,

Impulse
`I = F\cdot t`=total area

`I=(1)/(2)*3*6`

`I=9\ N-s`

Hence, The value of impulse is 9 N-s.
