Cheyenne Hicks · Answer 1

I = 8000 kg*m/s

Melina Thornton · Answer 2

I = 8000 kg*m/s

Explanation:

given,

time interval = 10 sec

momentum of the rocket is increased by = 8000 kg*m/s

Impulse applied = ?

Impulse is equal to the change in momentum of the object.

Impulse is defined as the change in momentum of the body due to the force acting on the body for an instant of time.

In the question change of momentum is given as 8000 kg*m/s

So, the impulse applied during the interval of time will be equal to

I = 8000 kg*m/s
