Question

A 0.11-kg toy car is initially moving at 1.7 m/s. Since the battery is losing power, the toy car has slowed down to 0.3 m/s. Calculate the impulse of the toy car. Input the numerical value only; do not include the units.

Expert Solution
Step 1

Given data:

  • The mass of the car, m=0.11 kg.
  • The initial velocity of the car, u=1.7 m/s.
  • The final velocity of the car, v=0.3 m/s.

Applying impulse momentum theorem, the impulse of the toy car is,

I=mv-u
