Question

what is the impulse generated when a 53 kg cart is pushed with a force of 30 n to make it go from rest to 4 m/s? show all work using guess method and be sure to include units on your final answer.

Answer 1

• Impulse = 212 kg m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :-

53 kg cart is pushed with a force of 30 n to make it go from rest to 4 m/s

• Mass of cart = 53 kg
• Force = 30 N
• Initial velocity = 0 m/s
• Final velocity = 4 m/s

Need to Find :-

• Impulse

Required Solution :-

Formula used for calculation of Impulse,

• J = mv

Here,

• J = Impulse
• m = mass
• v = Final Velocity - Initial velocity

Plugging the Values,

• v = (4m/s - 0m/s)
• v = 4 m/s

➥ J = 53kg × 4m/s

➥ J = 212 kg m/s

Hence, The impulse generated is 212 kg m/s
