`q001. Note that this assignment contains 5 questions.

. Suppose that a net force of 10 Newtons acts on a 2 kg mass for 3 seconds. By how much will the velocity of the mass change during these three seconds?

......!!!!!!!!...................................

RESPONSE -->

The acceleration is found first by dividing the net force by the mass: 10N/2kg=5 m/s^2. This is then multiplied by the change in time to find the change in velocity: 5m/s^2*3s=15m/s.

The acceleration of the object will be

accel = net force / mass = 10 Newtons / (2 kg) = 5 m/s^2.

In 3 seconds this implies a change of velocity

`dv = 5 m/s^2 * 3 s = 15 meters/second.

ok

`q002. By how much did the quantity m * v change during these three seconds?

What is the product Fnet * `dt of the net force and the time interval during which it acted?

How do these two quantities compare?

......!!!!!!!!...................................

RESPONSE -->

m*v=2kg *15 m/s=30kg m/s

Fnet*`dt=10N*3s=30Kg m/2

These quantities are the same

Since m remained constant at 2 kg and v changed by `dv = 15 meters/second, it follows that m * v changed by 2 kg * 15 meters/second = 30 kg meters/second.

Fnet *`dt is 10 Newtons * 3 seconds = 30 Newton * seconds = 30 kg meters/second^2 * seconds = 30 kg meters/second.

The two quantities m * `dv and Fnet * `dt are identical.

Since m remained constant at 2 kg and v changed by `dv = 15 meters/second, it follows that m * v changed by 2 kg * 15 meters/second = 30 kg meters/second.

Fnet *`dt is 10 Newtons * 3 seconds = 30 Newton * seconds = 30 kg meters/second^2 * seconds = 30 kg meters/second.

The two quantities m * `dv and Fnet * `dt are identical.

`q003. The quantity m * v is called the momentum of the object.

The quantity Fnet * `dt is called the impulse of the net force.

The Impulse-Momentum Theorem states that the change in the momentum of an object during a time interval `dt must be equal to the impulse of the average net force during that time interval. Note that it is possible for an impulse to be delivered to a changing mass, so that the change in momentum is not always simply m * `dv; however in non-calculus-based physics courses the effective changing mass will not be considered.

If an average net force of 2000 N is applied to a 1200 kg vehicle for 1.5 seconds, what will be the impulse of the force?

......!!!!!!!!...................................

RESPONSE -->

impulse is the net force multiplied by the change in time. mass has nothing to do with it. 2000N*1.5s=3000 kgm/s.

.................................................

......!!!!!!!!...................................

19:46:06

The impulse of the force will be Fnet * `dt = 2000 Newtons * 1.5 seconds = 3000 Newton*seconds = 3000 kg meters/second. Note that the 1200 kg mass has nothing to do with the magnitude of the impulse.STUDENT COMMENT: That's a little confusing. Would it work to take the answer I got of 3234 N and add back in the weight of the person at 647 N to get 3881?

INSTRUCTOR RESPONSE: Not a good idea, though it works in this case.

Net force = mass * acceleration.

That's where you need to start with problems of this nature.Then write an expression for the net force, which will typically include but not be limited to the force you are looking for. *&*&

`q004. If an average net force of 2000 N is applied to a 1200 kg vehicle for 1.5 seconds, what will be change in the velocity of the vehicle?

......!!!!!!!!...................................

RESPONSE -->

acceleration is 2000N/1200kg=1.67 m/s^2. This is then multiplied by the time to get the velocity: 1.5s*1.67 m/s^2=2.51 m/s.

.................................................

......!!!!!!!!...................................

19:47:05

The impulse of the 2000 Newton force is equal to the change in the momentum of the vehicle. The impulse is

impulse = Fnet * `dt = 2000 Newtons * 1.5 seconds = 3000 Newton*seconds = 3000 kg meters/second.

The change in momentum is m * `dv = 1200 kg * `dv.

Thus

1200 kg * `dv = 3000 kg m/s, so

`dv = 3000 kg m/s / (1200 kg) = 2.5 m/s.

In symbols we have Fnet * `dt = m `dv so that

`dv = Fnet * `dt / m.

......!!!!!!!!...................................

RESPONSE -->

ok. `dv= Fnet*`dt/m

`q005. Use the Impulse-Momentum Theorem to determine the average force required to change the velocity of a 1600 kg vehicle from 20 m/s to 25 m/s in 2 seconds.

......!!!!!!!!...................................

RESPONSE -->

using the equation: `dv=(Fnet*`dt)/m

5m/s=(Fnet*2s)/1600kg

Fnet=(1600kg*5m/s)/2s=4000N

.................................................

......!!!!!!!!...................................

19:48:00

The vehicle changes velocity by 5 meters/second so the change in its momentum is m * `dv = 1600 kg * 5 meters/second = 8000 kg meters/second. This change in momentum is equal to the impulse Fnet * `dt, so

Fnet * 2 sec = 8000 kg meters/second and so {}

Fnet = 8000 kg meters/second / (2 seconds) = 4000 kg meters/second^2 = 4000 Newtons.

In symbols we have Fnet * `dt = m * `dv so that Fnet = m * `dv / `dt = 1600 kg * 5 m/s / ( 2 s) = 4000 kg m/s^2 = 4000 N.

......!!!!!!!!...................................

RESPONSE -->

ok
