Calculate Change in Velocity: 5.02N, 4kg, 23.3s, 116.966N*s

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on calculating the change in velocity of a 4kg object subjected to a force of 5.02N for 23.3 seconds, resulting in a momentum of 116.966 N*s. The relationship between impulse and momentum is highlighted, specifically the equation I=F*t, which equates impulse to the change in momentum. The conclusion emphasizes that understanding this relationship allows for the determination of the change in velocity using the formula mΔv.

So you've found the momentum through impulse, how is momentum related to velocity?
 
Impulse, I=F*t= change in momentum= mΔv.

I guess now you know how to solve the problem.

Cheers
