Answer

$\mathrm{D} < \mathrm{C} < \mathrm{B} < \mathrm{A}$

Work Step by Step

By Newton's second law, the impulse delivered to an object is equal to the change in its momenta: $\vec{\mathrm{I}}=\vec{\mathrm{F}}_{\mathrm{a}\mathrm{v}}\Delta t=\Delta\vec{\mathrm{p}}\qquad $9-6 ---------- $\vec{\mathrm{I}}_{A}=F\Delta t$ $\displaystyle \vec{\mathrm{I}}_{B}=(2F)(\frac{\Delta t}{3})=\frac{2}{3}F\Delta t$ $\displaystyle \vec{\mathrm{I}}_{C}=\frac{1}{2}F\Delta t$ $\displaystyle \vec{\mathrm{I}}_{D}=\frac{1}{10}F\Delta t$ From least to greatest impulses, the forces are ranked $\mathrm{D} < \mathrm{C} < \mathrm{B} < \mathrm{A}$.
