If a boy (m = 50kg) at rest on skates is pushed by another boy who exerts a force of 200 N on him and if the first boy's final velocity is 8 m/s, what was the contact time?

Respuesta :

F* t = (m x v_final) - (m x v_initial)

200 x t = 50x8 - 50x0

t= 50 x 8 /200

t= 2s

The answer would be 2 seconds
