A 1000.–kilogram car traveling 20.0 meters per second east experiences an impulse of 2000. newton • seconds west. What is the final velocity of the car after the impulse has been applied?

Impulse is equal to change in momentum. So if impulse is 2000 then to solve for new velocity we just set it equal to equation for momentum.

First find original momentum by p=mv
p=1000*20=20000

So then taking that value minus the impulse since it was in opposite direction of original momentum it will slow it down some. To find new velocity we just take

20000-2000=18000=mv

v=18000/1000 =18m/s

Hope this helps!! Any questions please ask!!
Thank you!

The final velocity of the car after the impulse has been applied is 18m/s.

  • The calculation is as follows:

We know that

Impulse is equivalent to change in momentum.

So if impulse is 2000 so to solve for new velocity it should be equivalent to equation for momentum.

First determine original momentum by

p=mv

p=1000(20)

=20000

Now To find new velocity  

So,  

= 20000 -2000

= 18000 =mv

Now  

v=[tex]18000\div 1000[/tex] =18m/s
