Question

How long does a force of 10,000n have to be applied to generate an impulse of 500,000 kg*m/s

Answer 1

50 s

Step-by-step explanation:

The impulse exerted by a force on an object is equal to the change in momentum of the object, and it is given by:

`I=F\Delta t`

where:

I is the impulse

F is the force applied

`\Delta t` is the time interval during which the force is applied

In this problem, we have:

F = 10,000 N is the force applied

`I=500,000 kg m/s` is the impulse that we want to generate

Re-arranging the equation, we can find the time through which this force must be applied:

`\Delta t=(I)/(F)=(500,000)/(10,000)=50 s`
