Running at 3.0 m/s, Burce, the 50.0 kg quarterback, collides with Max, the 100.0 kg tackle, who is traveling at 6.0 m/s in the other direction. Upon collision, Max continues to travel forward at 2.0 m/s. How much impulse does Max experience as a result of the collision? (list unknown variable and known variables, write an equation, plug in numbers, and get answer with unit.)

400 Ns

Explanation:

Impulse = Change in momentum

i.e I = ΔP

So that,

Impulse experienced by Max = Change in Max's momentum

Change in Max's momentum = m(v - u)

Where m is the mass, v is the velocity after collision, and u is the velocity before collision.

m = 100.0 kg, v = 2.0 m/s, u = 6.0 m/s

Change in Max's momentum = 100 x (2 -6)

                             = -400 kg m/s

The negative sign shows that the change in momentum was against his direction of motion.

Impulse experienced by Max = 400 Ns.

Thus,

Max experienced an impulse of 400 Ns as a result of the collision.
