An object of mass 2.5 kg has a momentum < 3, 6, 7 > kg m/s. At this instant the object is acted on a by a force < 50, 50, 100 > N for 5 x 10-3 s . What is the momentum of the object at the end of this time interval?

Answer :

Answer:

The momentum of the object at the end is [tex](3.25i+6.25j+7.5k)\ kg-m/s[/tex]

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of object = 2.5 kg

Momentum [tex]p= 3i+6j+7k[/tex]

Force [tex]F=50i+50j+100k[/tex]

Time [tex]t=5\times10^{-3}\ s[/tex]

We need to calculate the momentum of the object at the end

Using formula of impulse

[tex]J=\Delta p[/tex]

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

[tex]J=F\times\Delta t[/tex]....(II)

From equation (I) and (II)

[tex]F\times\Delta t=m\Delta v[/tex]

[tex]F\times \Delta t=m(v_{f}-v_{i})[/tex]

[tex]mv_{f}=F\times \Delta t+mv_{i}[/tex]

Put the value into the formula

[tex]p_{f}=(50i+50j+100k)\times5\times10^{-3}+3i+6j+7k[/tex]

[tex]p_{f}=0.25i+0.25j+0.5k+3i+6j+7k[/tex]

[tex]p_{f}=(3.25i+6.25j+7.5k)\ kg m/s[/tex]

Hence, The momentum of the object at the end is [tex](3.25i+6.25j+7.5k)\ kg-m/s[/tex]
