A force of 6.00 N acts in the positive direction on a 3.00 kg object, originally traveling at +15.0 m/s, for 10.0 s. (a) What is the object's change in momentum?

Respuesta :

Answer:

60 kg m/s

Explanation:

Let [tex]a\;\; m/s^2[/tex] be the acceleration of the object.

As the acceleration of the object is constant, so

[tex]a=\frac {v-u}{t}\cdots(i)[/tex]

Given that applied force, F=6.00 N,

From Newton's second law, we have

[tex]F= m\times a[/tex],

[tex]\Rightarrow F=\frac {m(v-u)}{t}[/tex] [from equation (i)]

[tex]\Rightarrow Ft=m(v-u)[/tex]

[tex]\Rightarrow Ft=mv-mu[/tex]

[tex]\Rightarrow mv-mu=6\times 10[/tex] [given that time, t=10 s and F=6 N]

[tex]\Rightarrow mv-mu=60 kg \;m/s[/tex]

Here mv is the final momentum of the object and mu is the initial momentum of the object.

So, the change in the momentum of the object is mv-mu.

Hence, the change in the momentum of the object is 60 kg m/s.

The change in momentum of object is 60 kg-m/s.

Given data:

The magnitude of force is, F = 6.00 N.

The mass of object is, m = 3.00 kg.

The speed of object is, v = 15.0 m/s.

The time interval is, t = 10.0 s.

The change in momentum is mathematically equal to the difference between the final momentum and initial momentum of object. And it is obtained from the impulse-momentum concept as,

[tex]F=\dfrac{\Delta p}{t}\\\\\Delta p = F \times t[/tex]

Solving as,

[tex]\Delta p = 6.00 \times 10\\\\\Delta p =60.0 \;\rm kg.m/s[/tex]

Thus, we can say that the change in momentum of object is 60 kg-m/s.
