Due to an impulse, the change in momentum of a body is 1.8 kg ms−1. How much is the force acted on it if the duration of the force acting is 0.2 s ?
9 N
Given that, change in momentum,△(mv)=1.8 kg ms−1
Duration of the force acting, t=0.2 sec
We know that:
Impulse =Change in momentum =F×t
△(mv)=F×t
F=△(mv)t=1.80.2
⇒ F=9N
