A 10-kg box, initially at rest, moves along a frictionless horizontal surface. A horizontal force to the right is applied to the box. The magnitude of the force changes as a function of time as shown.
Which of the following impulse calculations is correct?
I. The impulse for the period from 0 to 2 seconds is 4 Ns.
II. The impulse for the period from 2 to 5 seconds is 6 Ns.
III. The impulse for the period from 5 to 8 seconds is Ns.
A 10-kg box, initially at rest, moves along a frictionless horizontal surface. A horizontal force to the right is applied to the box. The magnitude of the force changes as a function of time is shown in the top graph.
A student draws the bottom graph for the momentum of this 10-kg box as a function of time during this 10-second interval.
Which statements describe what is correct about the second graph and/or describe changes that could be made to correct the graph? Select two answers.
From 0 – 2 seconds, the graph should be curved upward and from 5 – 8 seconds, the graph should be curved downward.
From 0 – 2 seconds, the graph should be curved downward and from 5 – 8 seconds, the graph should be curved upward.
The graph is correct between 0 – 2 seconds and 5 – 8 seconds.
The graph is correct between 2 – 5 seconds and 8 – 10 seconds.
Question 3
Question
A 10-kg box, initially at rest, moves along a frictionless horizontal surface. A horizontal force to the right is applied to the box. The magnitude of the force changes as a function of time as shown.
Rank the impulse (greatest to least) applied to the box by this force during each 2-second interval indicated below:
a. 0 to 2 s
b. 2 to 4 s
c. 4 to 6 s
d. 6 to 8 s
e. 8 to 10 s
Each slope is straight so the impulse applied to the box during each of the intervals is zero.
Question 4
Question
A 6 kg sphere collides with a stationary 30 kg sphere on a frictionless and horizontal surface at t = 0 s as shown below.
A plot of the force exerted on the 30 kg sphere by the 6 kg sphere as a function of time is also shown.
What is the impulse applied to the 30 kg sphere?
