The force vs time graphs for two collisions are shown

Physics Dec 29, 2020

The force vs time graphs for two collisions are shown. Which collision has the largest impulse? The impulses are the same. The impulse for collision 2 since it lasts longer. The impulse for collision 1 since it has the larger maximum force. Cannot be determined since the initial an final speeds are unknown. Cannot be determined since the masses are unknown.

Expert Solution

impulse is given as J= F.dt
incase of impulse 1
it is F(1-0.5) = 4*0.5 = 2Ns

in case of impulse 2 it is = 2(2.5-1.5) = 2 Ns

so
A ) Both the impulses are same
