The rate of change of momentum is given by the formula:
force = rate of change of momentum / time
We are given:
force = 10N
mass = 5Kg
Using the formula for momentum:
momentum = mass x velocity
We can rearrange the formula to find the velocity:
velocity = momentum / mass
Since the initial momentum is zero, the final momentum is just the product of the mass and velocity after the application of force:
final momentum = mass x velocity
Using these equations, we can find the rate of change of momentum as follows:
force = rate of change of momentum / time
10N = (mass x final velocity - 0) / time
10N = (5Kg x velocity - 0) / time
10N x time = 5Kg x velocity
Dividing both sides by 5Kg:
2m/s = velocity
Substituting this into the equation for final momentum:
final momentum = mass x velocity
final momentum = 5Kg x 2m/s
final momentum = 10Kg m/s
Therefore, the rate of change of momentum is:
rate of change of momentum = final momentum / time
rate of change of momentum = 10Kg m/s / time
A force of 10N act on a body of mass 5Kg than rate of change of momentum is?
