Question

question 2 of 25
which equation can be used to calculate the time of impact when you have
the impulse and force applied to an object?

a. $\delta t = \frac{f}{i}$

b. $\delta t = \frac{i}{f}$

c. $\delta t = \frac{1}{if}$

d. $\delta t = fi$

Explanation:

Step1: Recall Impulse Formula

Impulse (\(I\)) is defined as the product of force (\(F\)) and time interval (\(\Delta t\)), so the formula is \(I = F \cdot \Delta t\).

Step2: Solve for \(\Delta t\)

To find the time of impact (\(\Delta t\)), we rearrange the formula \(I = F \cdot \Delta t\) by dividing both sides by \(F\). This gives \(\Delta t=\frac{I}{F}\).

Answer:

B. \(\boldsymbol{\Delta t=\frac{I}{F}}\)
