The millennium falcon with a mass of 850 kg with a velocity of 101 m/s. What is the momentum of the ship? I got 85,850 kgm/s
a. The velocity of the Millennium Falcon is increased to 159.0 m/s in a time of 2.7 seconds. What is the momentum now after the change in velocity?
b. What is the Impulse for the Falcon?

a. The velocity of the Millennium Falcon is increased to 159.0 m/s in a time of 2.7 seconds. What is the momentum now after the change in velocity?
b. What is the Impulse for the Falcon?

I dont get a.) or b.) :(

anonymous · Answer

momentum = mass * velocity
M1=850Kg*101m/s
=85850Kgm/s
now velocity is increased to 159m/s
so new momentum(M2)= 850Kg*159m/s=135150Kgm/s
now impulse=change of momentum/time
=(M2-M1)/t=49300/2.7=18259.259N

anonymous · Answer

there's only 1 mass in this equation :O

anonymous · Answer

so what that is not masses that are momentums:)

anonymous · Answer

soo i do (135,150 - 85850) which are the momentums

anonymous · Answer

what's the Impulse? o.O

anonymous · Answer

The two momentums are 85,850 for the first one and 135,150 for the second one

wait nvm lols
