Answer:
The change in momentum of the car is 30,000 kg m/s
Step-by-step explanation:
Given,
The force exerted on the car to slow down, F = 7500 N
The time period of force, t = 4 s
The rate of change of momentum of the object is equal to the force acting on it.
Therefore,
(mv - mu) / t = F
Where v and u are the final and initial velocity of the car. The change in momentum of the car,
mv - mu = F x t
= 7500 x 4
= 30,000 kg m/s
Hence the change in momentum of the car is 30,000 kg m/s
