Homework Statement
If, when catching the ball, the child applied triple the force, then the length of time that it would have taken to slow the ball would have been:
A. 9t
B. 3t
C. 1/3t
D. 1/9t
Homework Equations
Impulse = Net force x Change in time
The Attempt at a Solution
At first glance, I thought the answer would be B, since it seems logical to me that if you increase the net force, the time to stop the force would be longer...but my Physics teacher said that was wrong.
Assuming that she is right, where did I go wrong in my thinking? She did not care to explain to me.
Thank you
