A truck hits a brick wall with force of 100000 kg•m/s2. The truck comes to a stop in 0.5 s. Calculate the impulse the truck experienced
To calculate the impulse experienced by the truck, we can use the equation:
Impulse = Force × Time
Given:
Force = 100000 kg•m/s^2
Time = 0.5 s
Substituting the values into the equation, we get:
Impulse = 100000 kg•m/s^2 × 0.5 s
Impulse = 50000 kg•m/s
Therefore, the truck experienced an impulse of 50000 kg•m/s.
