A 5 kg object is moving in one dimension along the x-axis with a speed of 2 m/s. An external impulse acts on the force causing the speed of the object to increase to 5 m/s. The impulse lasted for 3 s. What is the average net force (in N) exerted on the object

Sagot :

Answer:

The correct answer is "15 Kg.m/s".

Explanation:

Given values are:

Mass,

m = 5 Kg

Initial velocity,

u = 2 m/s

Final velocity,

v = 5 m/s

Now,

The magnitude of change in linear momentum will be:

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

By substituting the values, we get

= [tex]5\times (5 - 2)[/tex]

= [tex]5\times 3[/tex]

= [tex]15 \ Kg.m/s[/tex]
