In attempting to pull a 1500-kg car out of a ditch, Arnold exerts a force of 300 N for three seconds, Bob exerts a force of 500 N for two seconds, and Cecil exerts a force of 200 N for four seconds. The car does not move at all. Who provided the greatest impulse

Bob provided the greatest impulse.

Explanation:

Given:

Arnold exerts force = 300 N for 3 seconds

Bob exerts force = 500 N for 2 seconds

Cecil exerts force = 200 N for 4 seconds.

Find:

Highest impulse

Computation:

Impulse = Force × TIme

Arnold provides impulse = 300 N × 3 seconds = 900 N/s

Bob provides impulse = 500 N × 2 seconds = 1,000 N/s

Cecil provides impulse = 200 N × 4 seconds = 800 N/s

Therefore, Bob provided the greatest impulse.

when jerome paddle in flowing river towards east the net speed of jerome will increase

so the net speed of jerome will be given as

now the speed of paul will be same as it is given as he is running on the ground

so

so here we can say since the speed of jerome is more so he will win the race

now as we know the distance so the time difference is given as

so jerome will reach first and the time difference will be 203.55 s or 3.4 min
