A bobsled has a momentum of 4000 kg•m/s to the south. Friction on the
track reduces its momentum to 2500 kg•m/s to the south. What impulse is
applied to the bobsled by the friction?

Respuesta :

Answer:

1500 north

Explanation:

Answer: 1500 north

Explanation:

Impulse is change of momentum. Since the numbers are already in units of momentum, you just need to subtract one from the other to find the impulse. 4000 - 2500 = 1500. Because the bobsled is traveling south and slowing down, the impulse will be in the opposite direction, or north.


1500 north.
