Question

A5 kg frisbee is thrown from rest to a final speed of 12 m/s. What is the impulse of the frisbee?

Answer 1

60kgm/s

Step-by-step explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of frisbee = 5kg

Final speed = 12m/s

Unknown:

Impulse of the frisbee = ?

Solution:

The impulse of the frisbee is the same as the change in momentum.

It is given as:

Impulse = mass (Final velocity - Initial velocity)

Impulse = 5(12 - 0) = 60kgm/s
