Question

The magnitude of the force involved in a certain collision (measured in newtons) is equal to the change in momentum (measured in kilogram meters/second). What is the time interval of the collision?

Answer 1

the answer would be c

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

The time-interval of the collision is
`t=\frac{{\Delta}p}{F}`

Step-by-step explanation:

As given the force is equal to the rate of change of momentum. Mathemticaly this is:

`F=(dp)/(dt).`

We can rearrange this equation to solve for
`{\delta}t` which gives

`t=\frac{{\Delta}p}{F}`

which is our answer.

In words this means the time interval is equal to the momentum change in that interval divided by the force applied that caused this momentum change.
