A 10 kg rocket is traveling at 80 m/s when the booster engine applies a constant forward force of 60 N for 3.0 seconds. What impulse does the booster engine supply

Answer 1

To find the impulse supplied by the booster engine, we can use the formula:

Impulse = force * time

Given that the force applied by the booster engine is 60 N and the time for which the force is applied is 3.0 seconds. We can substitute these values into the formula:

Impulse = 60 N * 3.0 s = 180 N.s

Therefore, the booster engine supplies an impulse of 180 N.s.
