A constant force of 500N is applied to an object for 15s . Calculate the magnitude of the impulsive force exerted
The magnitude of the impulsive force exerted can be calculated using the formula:
Impulsive force = Change in momentum / Change in time
The change in momentum can be calculated using the formula:
Change in momentum = Force x Change in time
Given:
Force = 500N
Change in time = 15s
Change in momentum = 500N x 15s = 7500 Ns
Now, we can calculate the magnitude of the impulsive force:
Impulsive force = 7500 Ns / 15s = 500N
Therefore, the magnitude of the impulsive force exerted is 500N.
