when a 5.0kg cart undergoes a 2.2m/s increase in speed, what is the impulse of the cart

Respuesta :

Answer:

11.0 kg m/s

Explanation:

The impulse exerted on the cart is equal to its change in momentum:

[tex]I=\Delta p=m\Delta v[/tex]

where

m = 5.0 kg is the mass of the cart

[tex]\Delta v=2.2 m/s[/tex] is its change in speed

Substituting numbers into the equation, we find

[tex]I=(5.0kg)(2.2 m/s)=11 kg m/s[/tex]

Solution:

In this question we have given

mass of Cart=5Kg

change in speed,[tex]\Delta v=2.2\frac{m}{s}[/tex]

We have to find, Impulse, I=?

Impulse :

Impulse of a body is equla to its change in momentum.

Therefore,

Impulse of cart is equal to its change in momentum:

[tex]I=\Delta p\\I=m\Delta v[/tex]................(1)

Put values of [tex]\Delta v[/tex], and m in eq(1)

[tex]I=(5.0kg)(2.2\frac{m}{s} )\\I=11 kg\frac{m}{s}[/tex]

Therefore, the impulse of the cart,[tex]I=11 kg\frac{m}{s}[/tex]
