Answer:
a) For both:
ΔP = -30000 kg*m/s
b) For both:
I = 30000 kg*m/s
c) i. F = 300000 N
ii. F = 50000 N
Explanation:
We know that the linear momentun is calculated by the next equation:
P = MV
Where M is the mass and V the velocity.
Also, the impulse is calculated like the change in the linear momemtun, so:
I = [tex]P_f-P_i[/tex]
or:
I = Ft
where F is the force and t is the time.
a) i. We will calculate the initial linear momentum Pi and the final momentum Pf for A as:
[tex]P_ i =MV_i[/tex]
[tex]P_ i =(1000 kg)(30 m/s)[/tex]
[tex]P_ i = 30000 kg*m/s[/tex]
[tex]P_f = MV_f[/tex]
[tex]P_f = (1000 kg)(0 m/s)[/tex]
[tex]P_f = 0[/tex]
So, the change in the momentum for A is:
ΔP = Pf - Pi = 0 - 30000 = -30000 kg*m/s
ii. We will calculate the initial linear momentum Pi and the final momentum Pf for B as:
[tex]P_ i =MV_i[/tex]
[tex]P_ i =(1000 kg)(30 m/s)[/tex]
[tex]P_ i = 30000 kg*m/s[/tex]
[tex]P_f = MV_f[/tex]
[tex]P_f = (1000 kg)(0 m/s)[/tex]
[tex]P_f = 0[/tex]
so, the change in the momentum for B is:
ΔP = -30000 kg*m/s
b) We know that the impulse is equal to the change in the momentum, so:
I = ΔP
Then, I = 30000 kg*m/s for both cars
c) i. Now we will use the equation:
I = Ft
Replacing values and solving for F, we get:
30000 kg*m/s = F(0.1 s)
F = 300000 N
ii. Now we will use the equation:
I = Ft
Replacing values and solving for F, we get:
30000 kg*m/s = F(0.6 s)
F = 50000 N
