Question

Which of the following examples demonstrate impulse?

Select all that apply.

A. a baseball player hitting a ball with a bat

B. placing a block in front of a wheel to prevent it from rolling

C. pressing the gas pedal to start a car moving

D. a slinky sitting at the top of a flight of stairs

Expert Solution
Step 1 Explanation

Simply saying, the sudden change in the momentum generated Impulse. If the momentum changed in a short time that generated impulse.

 

The equation is given by 

p=Ft

where, 

p= change in momentum

F=force

t=change in time (short period of time)
