An object has a momentum of 100 kg m/s. A force is applied for 2-s and brings the object to astop. What average force is needed over these two seconds? (Hint: what impulse is needed?Figure that out then use the definition of Impulse to calculate the average force).O 50NQ 100 NO 50 kg m/sO 100 kg m/s

Respuesta :

Given:

The initial momentum is

[tex]p_i=100\text{ kg m/s}[/tex]

The final momentum is

[tex]p_{f\text{ }}=0\text{ kg m/s}[/tex]

The time duration is t = 2 s

To find the average force.

Explanation:

The average force can be calculated as

[tex]F\text{ =}\frac{|p_f-p_i|}{t}[/tex]

On substituting the values, the average force will be

[tex]\begin{gathered} F=\text{ }\frac{|0-100|}{2} \\ =50\text{ N} \end{gathered}[/tex]

Thus, the average force is 50 N
