Homework Statement
A stationary 1.67 kg object is struck by a stick. The object experiencees a horizontal force given by F = at - bt^3, where t is the time in milliseconds from the instant the stick first contacts the object. if a = 1500 N/ms and b = 20 N / ms^3, what is the speed of the object just after it comes away from the stick (t = 2.74 ms)?
Homework Equations
The Attempt at a Solution
I integrated to come up with the impulse J_x. Then I added it to p_0 = 0. The integral solved at the limits of 0 to 0.00274 = 0.005631. I divided this by the mass 1.67 to get the velocity. This gave v = 0.003372 which is not right...
What did I do wrong?
Thanks
