a car has a mass of 975kg. by pushing on the car Evan increase its speed from 0.5 m/s to 3 m/s. what impulse did evan apply to the car

OpenStudy (anonymous):

From newton's second law you can find that, for a constant force applied for a time t Ft = change in momentum and Ft is what we call the impulse.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok so how do i solve it im lost

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well you need to work out the change in momentum of the car, and that tells you the impulse that was applied to it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

whatttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt

OpenStudy (anonymous):

: ( so you don't know how momentum is defined ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no

OpenStudy (anonymous):

mass multiplied by velocity is momentum
