Question

always use significant figure rules. remember that these rules apply to all numbers that are measurements.
a 2,000 - kg car travelling at 40 m/s hits a wall with a force of 40,000 n and comes to a stop. what was the impact time?
0.5 s
800 s
400 s
2 s

Explanation:

Step1: Aplicar el teorema del impulso - momento lineal

El impulso \(J = F \cdot t\) es igual al cambio de momento lineal \(\Delta p=m\cdot\Delta v\). Entonces \(F\cdot t = m\cdot(v_f - v_i)\).

Step2: Sustituir valores

Dado que \(m = 2000\space kg\), \(v_i=40\space m/s\), \(v_f = 0\space m/s\) y \(F = 40000\space N\). Sustituyendo en la ecuación \(40000\cdot t=2000\cdot(0 - 40)\).

Step3: Resolver para \(t\)

\(40000t=- 80000\), entonces \(t=\frac{- 80000}{40000}=- 2\space s\). El signo negativo indica que la fuerza es opuesta a la dirección del movimiento inicial, pero en términos de magnitud \(t = 2\space s\).

Answer:

\(2\space s\)
