A1000kg car has a speed of 32m/s. if it takes 7s to stop the car, what is the impulse and the average force acting in the car

1) Impulse: -32,000 kg m/s

The impulse acting on the car is equal to the change in momentum of the car:

where in this problem we have

m = 1000 kg is the mass of the car

v = 0 m/s is the final velocity of the car

u = 32 m/s is the initial velocity of the car

Substituting values into the equation, we find

2) -4751 N

The impulse exerted on the car is also equal to the product between the average force, F, and the duration of the collision, t:

where in this situation we know

is the impulse

t = 7 s is the duration of the collision

Solving the formula for F, we find the average force:

and the negative sign means that the force is in the opposite direction to the motion of the car.

firearm identification is the process of analyzing the bullets and cartridge cases left at a crime scene to determine if they came from a particular firearm. marks on the bullets and cartridges may be common to every firearm of that type. these are called class characteristics.
