The speed of a bus weighing 2000 kg increases from 50 mls to 60 m/s in 4 s. Calculate the change in its momentum and the Force applied on it

Respuesta :

Answer:

Momentum = 20 000 kgm/s

Force applied = 5000 N

Step-by-step explanation:

Momentum = Mass * Velocity

= 2000 kg * 10 m/s

= 20 000 kgm/s

Force = Mass * Acceleration

Acceleration = v - u / t

= 60-50/4

= 10/4

= 2.5 m/s^2

F = m*a

= 2000 * 2.5

= 5 000 N
