Question

A boxer is punching the heavy bag. The impact of the glove with the bag is 0.10s. The mass of the glove and his hand is 3kg. The velocity of the glove just before impact is 25m/s. What is the average impact force exerted on the glove?

Answer 1

750N

Step-by-step explanation:

Impulse is the change of momentum of an object when the object is acted upon by a force for an interval of time.

the expression is Ft=mv

where F= force

m= mass

t= time

v= velocity

Step one:

given data

mass m=3kg

velocity v= 25m/s

time t= 0.10seconds

Step two:

we also know that the force on impulse is given as

Ft=mv

F=3*25/0.10

F=75/0.10

F=750N

The magnitude of the average force on the heavy bag if the duration of the collision is 0.1 is 750N
