A force of 20. Newtons to the left exerted on a cart for 10. Seconds. For what period of time must a 50.-newton force to the right act to produce an impulse of equal magnitude on the cart?

    Impulse = (force) x (time)

    The first impulse was (20 N) x (10 sec) = 200 meters/sec

    The second one is (50 N) x (time) and we want it equal to the first one, so

    (50 N) x (time) = 200 meters/sec

    Divide each side by 50N : Time = 200/50 = 4 seconds

    By the way, the quantity we're playing with here is the cart's momentum.
