Answer:
50 s
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:
[tex]I=F\Delta t[/tex]
where:
I is the impulse
F is the force applied
[tex]\Delta t[/tex] is the time interval during which the force is applied
In this problem, we have:
F = 10,000 N is the force applied
[tex]I=500,000 kg m/s[/tex] is the impulse that we want to generate
Re-arranging the equation, we can find the time through which this force must be applied:
[tex]\Delta t=\frac{I}{F}=\frac{500,000}{10,000}=50 s[/tex]
