Answer:
The time-interval of the collision is [tex]t=\frac{{\Delta}p}{F}[/tex]
Explanation:
As given the force is equal to the rate of change of momentum. Mathemticaly this is:
[tex]F=\frac{dp}{dt}.[/tex]
We can rearrange this equation to solve for [tex]{\delta}t[/tex] which gives
[tex]t=\frac{{\Delta}p}{F}[/tex]
which is our answer.
In words this means the time interval is equal to the momentum change in that interval divided by the force applied that caused this momentum change.
