A 15 kg object starts for rest and is pushed across a frictionless surface e with a force of 30 N for 4 seconds

Calculate the final momentum

Answer :

skyluke89

The final momentum is 120 kg m/s

Explanation:

According to the impuls theorem, the impulse exerted on an object (the product of force applied and time interval) is equal to its change in momentum. Mathematically:

[tex]F \Delta t = \Delta p = p_f - p_i[/tex]

where

F is the average force on the object

[tex]\Delta t[/tex]  is the time interval during which the force is applied

[tex]p_f[/tex] is the final momentum

[tex]p_i[/tex] is the initial momentum

In this problem:

F = 30 N is the force applied

[tex]\Delta t = 4 s[/tex] is the time interval

[tex]p_i = 0[/tex] is the initial momentum, since the object starts from rest

Solving for [tex]p_f[/tex], we find the final momentum:

[tex]p_f = F\Delta t=(30)(4)=120 kg m/s[/tex]
