Question

A 5-kg object is pushed with a 10-N force for 1 second. How much will the momentum of an object change?

a) 5 Ns
b) 10 kg·m/s
c) 50 N
d) 1 kg·m/s

Answer 1

The change in momentum of the object is 10 kg·m/s.the correct answer is b) 10 kg·m/s.

Step-by-step explanation:

The change in momentum of an object can be calculated using the formula:

Change in Momentum = Force × Time

In this case, the force applied is 10 N and the time for which it is applied is 1 second. Therefore, the change in momentum is:

Change in Momentum = 10 N × 1 s = 10 kg·m/s

So, the correct answer is b) 10 kg·m/s.
