I wrote out the equation and I don't really know where the friction factors in. I'm pretty much 100% lost on this. I've done a good amount of impulse and momentum problems but this one is stumping me.
Impulse is the change in momentum of an object over time, while momentum is the measure of an object's motion and is equal to its mass multiplied by its velocity.
Impulse can be calculated by multiplying the average force applied to an object by the time interval over which the force is applied.
Momentum can be calculated by multiplying an object's mass by its velocity.
The units for impulse are Newton-seconds (N*s), while the units for momentum are kilogram-meters per second (kg*m/s).
To solve homework problems involving impulse and momentum, you will need to use the equations for impulse and momentum and plug in the given values for force, time, mass, and velocity.
