Question

Please answer with work shown!
A net force of 100 newton's is applied to a wagon for 5 seconds. This causes the wagon to undergo a change in momentum of..

Answer 1

Momentum is the same as Impulse. Therefore, the following must be true, assuming 'p' is momentum and 'I' is Impulse: \[p = mv\]\[I = Ft\]\[p = Ft\]Since it is true, according to the third equation, that momentum is the Force multiplied by the time, then all you do now is plug in the numbers and you have your answer.
