A student throws a 110 g snowball at 6.5 m/s at the side of the schoolhouse, where it hits and sticks.
What is the magnitude of the average force on the wall if the duration of the collision is 0.19 s ?

Respuesta :

Answer:

3.6N

Explanation:

Impulse is the change of momentum of an object when the object is acted upon by a force for an interval of time.

the expression is Ft=mv

where F= force

 m= mass

t= time

v= velocity

Step one:

given data

mass m= 110g= 0.11kg

velocity v= 6.5m/s

time t= 0.19seconds

Step two:

we also know that the force on impulse is given as

Ft=mv

F=0.11*6.5/0.19

F=0.715/0.19

F=3.76N

The magnitude of the average force on the wall if the duration of the collision is 0.19 is 14N
