Answer:
The change in momentum of the car is 3575 Kg.m/s
Explanation:
Impulse and Momentum
The impulse (J) experienced by the object equals the change in momentum of the object (Δp).
The formula that represents the above statement is:
J = Δp
The impulse is calculated as
J = F.t
Where F is the applied force and t is the time.
The car hits a wall with a force of F=6500 N and stops in 0.55 s. Thus, the impulse is:
J = 6500 * 0.55
J = 3575 Kg.m/s
The change in momentum of the car is:
[tex]\Delta p= J = 3575\ Kg.m/s[/tex]
The change in momentum of the car is 3575 Kg.m/s
