A constant force of 53 newtons was applied to a 12-kilogram mass for 15 seconds. a.) What was the change in momentum of the mass?
b.) What was the change in velocity of the object?

Respuesta :

Explanation:

Impulse = change in momentum

FΔt = Δp

(53 N) (15 s) = Δp

Δp = 795 kg m/s

For constant mass:

Δp = m Δv

795 kg m/s = (12 kg) Δv

Δv = 66.25 m/s

Rounding to two significant figures, Δp = 800 kg m/s and Δv = 66 m/s.
