Question

A strong gust of wind hits a falcon coasting through the sky. The force of the wind on the falcon is 1.3 N, and the wind blows for 1.8 s. What is the magnitude of change to the falcon’s momentum?

A. 0.87 kg m/s
B. 1.2 kg m/s
C. 1.9 kg m/s
D. 2.3 kg m/s

Answer 1

2.3 kg m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Change of momentum = force x time = 1.3 x 1.8 = 2.3 Κg m/s
