Question
A 1200-kg car, initially moving at 20 m/s, comes to a stop at a red light over a time of 3 s from the moment the driver hit the brakes. What is the impulse delivered to the car by the static friction force (assumed constant) between the road and the tires

Answer:
Explanation:
Mass of car (M)=1200kg
Initial velocity (u)=20m/s
Stop after time (t)=3sec.
Come to stop implies that the final velocity is zero, v=0m/s
Using newton second law of motion
F=m(v-u)/t
Ft=m(v-u)
Since impulse is Ft
I=Ft
Then, I=Ft=m(v-u)
I=m(v-u)
I=1200(0-20)
I=1200×-20
I=-24,000Ns
The impulse delivered to the car by static friction is -24,000Ns
