corrected question:The heavyweight boxing champion of the world punches a sheet of paper in midair, bringing it from rest up to a speed of 26.5 m/s in 0.044 s . The mass of the paper is 0.003 kg. Part A Find the force of the punch on the paper

Answer:

Force=1.8N

Step-by-step explanation:

Newtons third law states that in every action there is equal and opposite reaction.

The force of the punch will be the force that moves the paper by a speed of 26.5m/s.


F=ma


F=m(v-u)/(t)

m=0.003kg , v=26.5m/s u=0(the paper is punched from rest) t=0.044s


F=0.003*(26.5-0.044)/(0.044)

F=1.8N
