Calculate the impulse of a tractor of a train weighing 20 tons moving at a speed of 80 km / h?

Problem data: m (train tractor mass) = 20 t (in SI m = 20 * 10 ^ 3 kg); V (speed at which the tractor is moving) = 80 km / h (in SI V = 22.2 m / s).

To calculate the momentum of the train tractor, you must use the formula: P = m * V.

Calculation: P = 20 * 10 ^ 3 * 22.2 = 444 * 10 ^ 3 kg * m / s.

Answer: The train tractor has an impulse of 444 * 10 ^ 3 kg * m / s.
