A football team's kicker punts the ball (mass=0.42 kg) and gives it a launch speed of 30m/s. find the impulse delivered to the football by the kicker's foot and the average force exerted by the kicker on the ball, given that the impact time is 0.0020 s. |

Answer» Solution :Impulse is equal to the change in linear momentum, so `J=Deltap=p_(f)-p_(i)=p_(f)=mv=(0.42kg)(30m//s)=13KG*m//s` Using the equation `overline(F)=(J)/(DELTAT)`, we find that the AVERAGE force exerted by the kicker is `overline(F)=(J)/(Deltat)=(13kg*m//s)/(2xx10^(-3)s)=6,500kg*m//s^(2)=6,500N`. |
