Answer:
[tex]I=336.6kgm/s[/tex]
Explanation:
The equation for the linear impulse is as follows:
[tex]I=F\Delta t[/tex]
where [tex]I[/tex] is impulse, [tex]F[/tex] is the force, and [tex]\Delta t[/tex] is the change in time.
The force, according to Newton's second law:
[tex]F=ma[/tex]
and since [tex]a=\frac{v_{f}-v_{i}}{\Delta t}[/tex]
the force will be:
[tex]F=m(\frac{v_{f}-v_{i}}{\Delta t})[/tex]
replacing in the equation for impulse:
[tex]I=m(\frac{v_{f}-v_{i}}{\Delta t})(\Delta t)[/tex]
we see that [tex]\Delta t[/tex] is canceled, so
[tex]I=m(v_{f}-v_{i})[/tex]
And according to the problem [tex]v_{i}=0m/s[/tex], [tex]v_{f}=5.10m/s[/tex] and the mass of the passenger is [tex]m=66kg[/tex]. Thus:
[tex]I=(66kg)(5.10m/s-0m/s)[/tex]
[tex]I=(66kg)(5.10m/s)[/tex]
[tex]I=336.6kgm/s[/tex]
the magnitude of the linear impulse experienced the passenger is [tex]336.6kgm/s[/tex]
