Impulse & Momentum Example: A Person Pushes on a Box

An 82 kg person is sitting at rest on a frictionless surface next to a box full of rocks with a total mass of 40 kg. The person pushes the box with a force of 450 N for 1.53 s. A) What impulse was applied to the box? B) What is the final velocity of the box? C) What impulse is applied to the person by the box? (Think about Newton’s Third Law). D) What is the final velocity of the person? #apphysics1 #apphysicsc #exampleproblems #collegephysics #highschoolphysics #impulsemomentumtheorem #momentum Here’s the lecture that goes with this problem:    • PhysicsPAL: Momentum & Impulse Explained   Here’s the worksheet that goes with this problem: https://docs.google.com/document...
