Explanation of answer? What impulse is acting on the object if the force of 23 N is applied for .45(s) ? I multiplied force by time and got 10.35 kg* m/s The book says that the answer is 10 kg*m/s. Can someone explain to me how this answer is right and not 10.35?

OpenStudy (abhisar):

As you know, \(\tt Impulse(J)=Force(F)\times Time(T)\) Force given is 23N and time of impact is 0.45s. Plug in the values, \(\tt J=23\times 0.45=?\)

OpenStudy (inexilewetrust):

I get 10.35. The book says 10 is the answer, why?

OpenStudy (abhisar):

They may have rounded it off.

OpenStudy (inexilewetrust):

Okay, that makes sense. Thanks!
