Verified answer

Answer:

Time = 0.58 seconds

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Initial momentum = 3 kgm/s

Final momentum = 10 kgm/s

Force = 12 N

To find the time required for the change in momentum;

First of all, we would determine the change in momentum.

Change in momentum = 7 kgm/s

Now, we can find the time required;

Note: the impulse of an object is equal to the change in momentum experienced by the object.

Mathematically, impulse (change in momentum) is given by the formula;

Making "time" the subject of formula, we have;

Substituting into the formula, we have;

Time = 0.58 seconds
