During the first 5 seconds of a rocket launch, the momentum of the rocket increased by 10,000 kg m/s. what was the impulse applied to the rocket during this time?

10,000 kg m/s

Explanation:

The impulse exerted on an object is equal to the change in momentum of the object itself:

where

I is the impulse

F is the force applied

is the time during which the force has been applied

is the change in momentum

In this problem, we are already given the change in momentum of the rocket: since the rocket starts from rest, its change in momentum is equal to its momentum after 5 seconds,

and so, the impulse is equal to this value.

it is called kinetic energy
