A boxer is punching the heavy bag. The impact of the glove with the bag is 0.10s. The mass of the glove and his hand is 3kg. The velocity of the glove just before impact is 25m/s. What is the average impact force exerted on the glove?

Explanation:

Impulse is the change of momentum of an object when the object is acted upon by a force for an interval of time.

the expression is Ft=mv

where F= force

           m= mass

             t= time

            v= velocity

Step one:

given data

mass m=3kg

velocity v= 25m/s

time t= 0.10seconds

Step two:

we also know that the force on impulse is given as

Ft=mv

F=3*25/0.10

F=75/0.10

F=750N

The magnitude of the average force on the heavy bag if the duration of the collision is 0.1 is 750N

speed of light in vacuum is 300,000 km/s

speed of light in other mediums is given by the expression v = c/n, where c is the speed of light in vacuum and n is the refractive index of medium.

for the first medium v = 200,000 km/s

  so, refractive index of medium = 300000/200000 = 1.5

    1.5 refractive index is usually for glass. so first medium is glass.

for the second medium v = 250,00 km/s

so, refractive index of medium = 300000/250000 = 1.2

    1.2 refractive index is usually for water. so second medium is water.

for the third medium v = 0 km/s

so, refractive index of medium = 300000/0 = ∞

    ∞ refractive index is usually for opaque mediums. so third medium is opaque medium.
