What time was the force F = 20N acting on the body if the momentum of the body changed by 120 kg * m / s?

Task data: F (value of the acting force) = 20 N; ΔР (change in momentum of the body under consideration) = 120 kg * m / s.

We express the duration of the action of the force on the body under consideration from the formula: ΔР = F * t, whence t = ΔР / F.

Let’s perform the calculation: t = 120/20 = 6 s.

Answer: A force of 20 N acted on the body in question for 6 seconds.
