Cart A is pulled with a 2 Newton force for 2
seconds, and Cart B is pulled with a 1 Newton force
for 3 seconds. Which cart experiences the greatest
impulse?

Respuesta :

The cart A experienced the greatest impulse.

The given parameters;

  • force exerted on Cart A = 2 N
  • time of force action on cart A = 2 s
  • force exerted on cart B = 1
  • time of force action on cart B = 3 s

Impulse is defined as the product of the applied force  and time of action of the applied force.

J = Ft

where;

J is the impulse

F is the applied force

t is the time of action

The impulse experienced by cart A;

J = 2 x 2 = 4 Ns

The impulse experienced by cart B;

J = 1 x 3 = 3 Ns

Thus, the cart A experienced the greatest impulse.
