a net force of 200 newton's is applied to a wagon for 3 seconds. this causes the wagon to undergo a change in momentum of
force = change in momentum/change in time or m A if m is constant
change in momentum/3 = 200
change in momentum = 3*200 kg m/s
To calculate the change in momentum of the wagon, we need to use the formula:
Change in momentum = Net force x Time
In this case, the net force applied to the wagon is 200 Newtons and the time is 3 seconds. Therefore, the change in momentum can be calculated as follows:
Change in momentum = 200 N x 3 s
Change in momentum = 600 Ns (Newton-seconds)
So, the wagon undergoes a change in momentum of 600 Newton-seconds.
