Practicing Success
An impulse of 6m $\vec{j}$ is applied to a body of mass m moving with velocity ($\vec{i} + 2\vec{j}$). The final velocity of the body will be |
-$\vec{i} + 8\vec{j}$ -$\vec{i} - 8\vec{j}$ $\vec{i} + 8\vec{j}$ -$8\vec{i} + 8\vec{j}$ |
$\vec{i} + 8\vec{j}$ |
Impulse = Change in linear momentum $\vec{\Delta p} = \vec{p_f} - \vec{p_i}$ $\vec{p_f} = \vec{p_i} + \vec{\Delta p} = m\vec{i}+2m\vec{j}+6m\vec{j}$ ⇒ m$\vec{v_f} = m\vec{i}+8m\vec{j}$ ⇒ $\vec{v_f} = \vec{i}+8\vec{j}$
