    Calculating Momentum Change of 70kg Passenger in Car Crash

    Thank you for the warm welcome! :biggrin: What I am trying to say is if I am trying to calculate the impulse and I look at my equations FΔt or mΔv based on the information the questions gives me I can use either equation to calculate impulse? For example the question I asked didn't have a...

    Calculating Momentum Change of 70kg Passenger in Car Crash

    1.A 70 kg front seat passenger is in a car moving initially at 24m/s and is brought to rest by an airbag in 0.4 seconds after a crash. 2. What is the change of momentum of the person in the car 3. mΔv = (70kg)(24m/s) = 1680kg m/s Am I calculating this right? Is FΔt=mΔv...
