Impulse

1. Impulse A time-dependent net force in the x-direction is experienced by a mass of 2.50 kg. The force's time dependence is modeled by the graph below. (N) N m 5 t ( s ) a. Explain why the momentum of this mass is not conserved. b. Calculate the change-in-momentum experienced by the mass of the five second interval. Explain your work and present the quantity as vector. c. Find the vector that would best model the average force experienced by the mass during the five second interval. Explain your work. d. The mass had an initial velocity of (-2.00m ) 2, what is its final velocity after the five second interval? Explain your work. e. Suppose that this impulse is as the result of a collision with a 5.00 kg mass with an initial velocity (1.00m ) 2. What average force is experienced by this mass and what is the final velocity of the mass? Explain your work
