Answer:
The change in the momentum of object C is equal to the net impulse exerted on it.
Explanation:
Newtons second law of motion states that, the rate of change of momentum is directly proportional to the applied force and takes place in the direction in which the force acts. Mathematically represented as;
[tex]F=\frac{m(v-u)}{t}[/tex]
Ft = m(v-u) ..............equ1
momentum is the product of mass and velocity, and change in momentum is the product of mass and the change in velocity of the object.
Ft is the impulse exerted on a body
from equ 1 we can see that the change in momentum is equal to the impulse exerted.
Answer: the net impulse exerted on object C.
Explanation:
During a large, multi-object collision that involves object C, the change in the momentum of object C is equal to the net impulse exerted on object C. As stated by the Impulse-momentum theorem which state that any change in an object's momentum always occurs due to a net impulse exerted on or applied to the object.
I = Δp
If mass is constant, then…
FΔt = mΔv
Where,
I = net impulse applied
∆p = change in momentum
F = Force
m = mass
∆v = change in velocity.
