A) 0.0009 Ns
B) 9,000 Ns
C) 0.8 Ns
D) 7.8 Ns

Question

The thrust on a particular missile is represented as  Newtons for  second. Identify the correct impulse.
A) 0.0009 Ns 
B) 9,000 Ns 
C) 0.8 Ns 
D) 7.8 Ns

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The impulse can be calculated using the formula: impulse = force x time. Converting the given values to standard notation, the force is 1.1 x 10^11 N and the time is 11 x 10^(-9) s. Multiplying these values gives an impulse of 7.8 Ns, which corresponds to choice D.
