a hockey player makes a slap shot, exerting a constant force of 25.0N on the puck for .16 seconds. What is the magnitude of the impulse given to the puck
To find the magnitude of the impulse given to the puck, you can use the impulse-momentum principle which states that impulse is equal to the change in momentum of an object.
Impulse = Change in momentum
The formula for impulse is given by:
Impulse = Force × Time
In this case, the force exerted by the hockey player is 25.0 N and the time for which the force is applied is 0.16 seconds.
Plug these values into the formula:
Impulse = 25.0 N × 0.16 s
Calculating the impulse gives:
Impulse = 4.0 kg⋅m/s
Therefore, the magnitude of the impulse given to the puck is 4.0 kg⋅m/s.
To find the magnitude of the impulse given to the puck, you can use the equation:
Impulse = Force × Time
Given that the hockey player exerts a constant force of 25.0N on the puck for 0.16 seconds, you can substitute these values into the equation to find the impulse:
Impulse = 25.0N × 0.16s
Now, let's calculate the impulse:
Impulse = 4.0 N·s
So, the magnitude of the impulse given to the puck is 4.0 N·s.
