We'll recall the fact that the impulse represents the
change in momentum of an object.
I = F*delta
t
F is the force applied to the object over the time
interval delta t
But F = m*a => I = m*a*delta
t
But a = delta v/delta t => I = m*delta v*delta
t/delta t
I = m*delta v
(1)
delta v = vf - vi
vf is
the final speed of the object and vi is the initial speed of the
object.
We'll plug into the equation (1) the given
information:
4.1 = 0.21*(Vf -
0).
The initial speed is zero since the object is
stationary, at first.
4.1 = 0.21*Vf => vf =
4.1/0.21
vf = 19.52
m/s
Therefore, the speed of the object, after
the impact, is of 19.52 m/s.
