The momentum of a body weighing 2 kg in 2 s will change by 10 kg m / s, the acceleration acquired by the body is equal to …

Given:

dP = 10 kg * m / s – change in body impulse;

t = 2 seconds – the time interval during which the body impulse changed;

m = 2 kilograms – body weight.

It is required to determine the acceleration of the body a (m / s ^ 2).

Let’s find the change in body speed:

dv = dP / m = 10/2 = 8 meters per second.

Then the acceleration of the body will be equal to:

a = dv / t = 8/2 = 4 meters per second squared.

Answer: the acceleration acquired by the body is equal to 4 meters per second squared (m / s ^ 2).
