A ball experiences an impulse of 1.52 N·s when it strikes the floor for 0.01 s. What is the force acting on the ball? a. 0.0152 N b. 1.52 N c. 15.2 N d. 152 N
To find the force acting on the ball, we can use the equation for impulse (I) which is given by the product of force (F) and time (Δt):
I = F * Δt
Rearranging the formula to solve for force:
F = I / Δt
Given that the impulse (I) is 1.52 N·s and the time (Δt) is 0.01 s, we can substitute the values into the formula to find the force:
F = 1.52 N·s / 0.01 s
F = 152 N
Therefore, the force acting on the ball is 152 N.
The correct option is d. 152 N.
