c. 40 N s

d. 2.5 N s

F (kN) 2.50 t (ms) 15.0 16.0

Explanation / Answer

here,

1)

force , F =1200 N

time taken , t = 3 ms = 0.003 s

the impulse , I = F * t

I = 1200 * 0.003 kg.m/s = 3.6 kg.m/s

the correct option is b) 3.6 N.s

2)

time interval , t = 5 ms = 0.005 s

impulse , I = 12 N.s

the force applied , F = I /t

F = 12 /0.005 N

F = 2500 N

the correct option is a) 2500 N

3)

mass , m = 1000 kg

speed ,v = 20 m/s

the linear momentum , P = m * v

P = 20000 kg.m/s

the correct option is c) 20000 kg.m/s

4)

mass , m = 0.15 kg

initial speed , u = - 10 m/s

final speed , v = 8 m/s

the change in momentum , dP = m * ( v - u)

dP = 0.15 * ( 8 - ( -10)) kg.m/s

dP = 2.7 kg.m/s

the correct option is d_) 2.7 kg.m/s
