Homework Statement


A 24.0kg dog running at a speed of 3.0m/s jumps onto a stationary skateboard that has a mass of 3.6 kg how long will it take a force with a magnitude of 9.0 N to stop the skateboard and the dog?


Homework Equations


F(change in time)=Pf-Pi
P=MV


The Attempt at a Solution


I don't understand how to calculate the length of time that it takes for the 9.0N force is going to slow down the skateboard and the dog.

You can use the formula you wrote: F(change in time)=Pf-Pi
Put in the numbers for the force and momentum and then you can calculate the change in time.
