Linear Momentum and Second Law of Motion: Practice Problem & Solution

Figure shows an estimated force-time graph for a base ball struck by a bat from this curve determine impulse delivered to the ball. Linear Momentum and Second Law of Motion diagram: Figure shows an estimated force-time graph for a
1800 kg-m/sec
900 kg-m/sec
2700 kg-m/sec
None of these

Solution Explained:

To solve this problem, we apply the core principles of Linear Momentum and Second Law of Motion. Understanding the underlying formula is key to arriving at the correct answer below:

Area bounded by force-distance (x) graph with time axis represents impulse. Area of triangle in the figure is ⇒Impulse = ½×2 ×1800 = 1800 kg m/sec
