A 23.5 N force acts on a body for duration of 12.0 s. Compute the impulse that the body receives.
impulse = change of momentum = force * time
To compute the impulse, we can use the formula:
Impulse = Force × Time
In this case, the Force is 23.5 N and the Time is 12.0 s.
Substituting these values into the formula:
Impulse = 23.5 N × 12.0 s
Therefore, the impulse that the body receives is equal to:
Impulse = 282 N·s
