Answer:
A. 500N
Step-by-step explanation:
Using Impulse Momentum Theorem
F = m * a --------- (1)
where a = Δv / t
Δv = change of velocity
t = time
F = 500N
m = 10kg
t = 20s
using equation 1
500 = 10 * Δv / 20
500 * 20
Δv = ------------- = 1000 m/s
10
check:
impulse = change of momentum
therefore, Ft = Δ(m*v)
10 (1000)
F = --------------
20
F = 500 N
