The impulse on the car is -21,000 kg m/s
Explanation:
The impulse exerted on an object is the product between the force exerted on it and the time interval during which the force is applied:
[tex]I=F\Delta t[/tex]
where
I is the impulse
F is the force applied
[tex]\Delta t[/tex] is the time interval
For the car in this problem, we have
F = -15,000 N (the negative sign indicates that the direction of the force is opposite to the direction of motion)
[tex]\Delta t = 1.4 s[/tex] is the time interval
Therefore, the impulse on the car is
[tex]I=(-15000)(1.4)=-21,000 kg m/s[/tex]
And the negative sign indicates that the direction of the impulse is opposite to the direction of motion.
