Problem Set On Impulse and Momentum

1. The momentum of a 1.5 x 104 N jeepney moving at 20 m/s is 3.1 x 104 N*s. A force of 88 N would need to act on the jeepney for 352.27 seconds to support that momentum. 2. A force of 100 N would need to act for 10 seconds on a 20 kg rocket to increase its speed from 100 m/s to 150 m/s. 3. A 1500 kg car increased its speed from 10 m/s to 30 m/s in 4 seconds, resulting in a change in momentum of 30000 N*s. The force producing this change was 7500 N. 4. The momentum of
