Answer: C.
250 kg-m/s
Explanation:
Given that the
Mass M = 1,500 kg
Force F = 500 N
Time t = 0.5 seconds
From Newton’s second law of motion which state that the rate of change of momentum is proportional to the applied force.
F = mV/t
Ft = mV
Where ft = impulse: the product of time and applied force
Substitutes force and time into the formula
Ft = 500 × 0.5 = 250 Ns

c
