A car is stopped for a traffic signal. When the light turns green, the car accelerates, increasing its speed from zero to 9.41 m/s in 4.24 s. What is the magnitude of the linear impulse experienced by a 67.0 kg passenger in the car during this time

Respuesta :

Answer:

the impulse experienced by the passenger is 630.47 kg

Explanation:

Given;

initial velocity of the car, u = 0

final velocity of the car, v = 9.41 m/s

time of motion of the car, t = 4.24 s

mass of the passenger in the car, m = 67 kg

The impulse experienced by the passenger is calculated as;

J = ΔP = mv - mu = m(v - u)

           = 67(9.41 - 0)

           = 67 x 9.41

           = 630.47 kg

Therefore, the impulse experienced by the passenger is 630.47 kg
