The linear impulse delivered by the hit of a boxer is 104 NS during the 0.431s of contact. What is the magnitude of the average force exerted on the glove of the other boxer?
you want Newtons
you have Newton⋅seconds, and seconds
now what?
To find the magnitude of the average force exerted on the glove of the other boxer, we can use the formula:
Average force = Change in momentum / Time
First, let's calculate the change in momentum. The formula to calculate momentum is:
Momentum = Mass × Velocity
Since we are dealing with linear impulse, we can calculate the change in momentum by multiplying the linear impulse with the mass of the glove. However, for this calculation, we need to know the mass of the glove.
Once we have the change in momentum, we can divide it by the time of contact to find the average force.
So, to calculate the magnitude of the average force exerted on the glove of the other boxer, we need two pieces of information:
1. The linear impulse (104 NS)
2. The mass of the glove
Please provide the mass of the glove, and we can proceed with the calculation.
