Answer: Impulse = 4 kgm/s
Explanation:
From the question, you’re given the following parameters:
Momentum P1 = 12 kgm/s
Momentum P2 = 16 kgm/s
Time t = 0.2 s
According to second law of motion,
Force F = change in momentum ÷ time
That is
F = (P2 – P1)/t
Cross multiply
Ft = P2 – P1
Where Ft = impulse
Substitute P1 and P2 into the formula
Impulse = 16 – 12 = 4 kgm/s
The magnitude of the impulse is therefore 4 kgm/s.
