A resultant force of 15.00n acts on a body for 4s mass 4kg. calculate the change in momentum of the body within this period
To calculate the change in momentum of the body, you need to use the formula:
Change in Momentum = Force × Time
Given:
Resultant Force = 15.00 N
Time = 4 s
First, let's convert the given force into kilogram meters per second (kg·m/s). Since 1 N = 1 kg·m/s^2, the force remains the same.
Change in Momentum = 15.00 N × 4 s
Now, we can calculate:
Change in Momentum = 60.00 N·s (or kg·m/s)
So, the change in momentum of the body within this period is 60.00 N·s (or kg·m/s).
I believe your subject is physics.
change in momentum = Force * time
= 15*4 = 60 kg m/s
