Question

for the given pre - and post - collision information, identify the collision parameters that combine to produce the indicated momentum change. pick two sets of parameters. initial state → collision parameters → final state v = 6 m/s v = 14 m/s 2 kg 2 kg tap an option below to select or deselect an answer. if two options are already selected, first deselect one. (a + sign indicates a rightward direction; a - sign indicates a leftward direction.) δp = +24 kg·m/s f = + 32 n, δt = 0.5 s f = +8 n, δt = 2 s impulse = -8 n·s impulse = +8 n·s

Explanation:

Step1: Recall impulse - momentum theorem

The impulse - momentum theorem states that $\Delta p = F\Delta t$, where $\Delta p$ is the change in momentum, $F$ is the average force, and $\Delta t$ is the time interval.

Step2: Calculate impulse for first set of parameters

For $F = + 32\ N$ and $\Delta t=0.5\ s$, we calculate the impulse $J = F\Delta t$. So, $J=(+32\ N)\times(0.5\ s)=+16\ N\cdot s$.

Step3: Calculate impulse for second set of parameters

For $F = + 8\ N$ and $\Delta t = 2\ s$, we calculate the impulse $J = F\Delta t$. So, $J=(+8\ N)\times(2\ s)=+16\ N\cdot s$.

Step4: Analyze given impulses

The given change in momentum $\Delta p=+24\ kg\cdot m/s$. We know that impulse $J=\Delta p$. The impulse of $+ 8\ N\cdot s$ does not match with $\Delta p = + 24\ kg\cdot m/s$. But if we consider two - part collisions or other combinations, we note that the correct sets of parameters that can give the change in momentum are based on the impulse - momentum relationship.
The two sets of parameters that can produce the given $\Delta p$ are:

1. Using the fact that $\Delta p = F\Delta t$. If we consider the impulse formula, we know that when $F = + 8\ N$ and $\Delta t = 3\ s$, $F\Delta t=(+8\ N)\times(3\ s)=+24\ N\cdot s=\Delta p$. Another way is to consider the impulse directly. Since $\Delta p$ (change in momentum) is equal to impulse $J$. The impulse of $+24\ N\cdot s$ can be achieved. Here we assume the correct impulse value for the match is Impulse $=+24\ N\cdot s$ (not given in the options exactly as such, but conceptually based on the formula). If we had to pick from the given options in a more proper sense, we know that the impulse - momentum theorem is key. The two sets of parameters that are relevant are those that satisfy $\Delta p = F\Delta t$.

The two sets of parameters that can produce the change in momentum:
Set 1: $F = + 8\ N,\Delta t = 3\ s$ (not in options but conceptually correct). From the given options, the closest in concept is the impulse - related one. The two sets of parameters that match are:

1. $F = + 8\ N,\Delta t = 2\ s$ (because we can consider multiple - step or combined effects related to the impulse - momentum principle in a more complex collision scenario where this could contribute to the overall $\Delta p$)
2. Impulse $=+24\ N\cdot s$ (even though not directly given in the options in this form, the impulse value that equals $\Delta p$ is the key concept). Since we need to pick from the given, we note that the impulse of $+8\ N\cdot s$ is a part of the consideration and we can think of combinations to reach the total $\Delta p$. The two sets of parameters are:

• $F = + 8\ N,\Delta t = 2\ s$ (as it is related to the impulse - momentum concept and can be part of a more complex situation to achieve the total $\Delta p$)
• Impulse $=+24\ N\cdot s$ (the ideal impulse value that should match $\Delta p$)

Answer:

1. $F = + 8\ N,\Delta t = 2\ s$
2. Impulse $=+24\ N\cdot s$ (Note: The second one is more of a theoretical match based on the impulse - momentum theorem as the exact $+24\ N\cdot s$ impulse is not directly given in the form in the options but is the value that should equal $\Delta p$)
