Distance to traveled to reach 0m/s not matter in impulse?

[QUOTE="haruspex, post: 5005992, member: 334404"] They really cannot produce a different result. Try doing it all algebraically, not using any actual numbers. You should find you get the same algebraic expression. Any numerical difference you are seeing must be from arithmetic error or rounding error. Note also that your method using distance necessarily makes an assumption about the deceleration profile - constant deceleration in this case. It doesn't matter because it turns out to be irrelevant in this problem, but you should be wary of making such assumptions generally. [/QUOTE]
