julz3216 said:So I tried to do F*change in t = change in m*v but it didn't work. i calculated velocity by doing change in d/ change in t. i used 2.5 for t because that is where fmax occurs and i also used d as 1.8 because that is the distance the ball travels in 2.5 seconds
so i got v=.72 and then mv=.029
so 2.5F = .029
F = .0116
and that was wrong. so i don't really know what to do?
Maximum force is the greatest amount of force that can be applied to an object before it breaks or undergoes a significant change in shape or motion.
Maximum force is typically measured using a force gauge or load cell, which can accurately measure the amount of force being applied to an object in units of Newtons (N) or pounds (lbs).
The maximum force that an object can withstand is influenced by several factors, including the material properties of the object (such as strength and elasticity), the shape and size of the object, and the speed and direction of the applied force.
Impulse is the product of force and time, and it represents the change in an object's momentum. In the context of maximum force, impulse is important because it determines the amount of force that an object can withstand over a specific period of time before breaking or undergoing a significant change.
In physics, maximum force and impulse are closely related, as they both involve the application of force to an object. The maximum force that an object can withstand is typically measured by calculating the impulse applied to the object over a specific period of time, using the equation Fmax = Δp/Δt, where Fmax is the maximum force, Δp is the change in momentum, and Δt is the time over which the force is applied.
