Question

What is the force on an object that has an impulse of 12.1 N*s and the time it moves is 5.1 seconds?

Answer 1

the formula to calculate the impulse is

$J=Ft$

Where J is the impulse, F is the force, t is time

In our case we have

J=12.1 N*s

t=5.1 s

We substitute

$12.1=F(5.1)$

Then we isolate

$F=\frac{12.1}{5.1}=2.37\text{ N}$

ANSWER

2.37N3
