Answer

(a) $I=-1.56\space Kg.m/s$ (b) $F_{avg}=-2535N$

Work Step by Step

(a) We can find the required impulse as follows: $I=m(v_f-v_i)$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $I=0.012(0-130)$ This simplifies to: $I=-1.56\space Kg.m/s$ (b) We can find the required average force as follows: $v_f^2=v_i^2+2ad$ Putting $v_i=0$ and solving the above equation, we obtain: $a=\frac{-v_i}{2d}$ $\implies a=\frac{-130}{2(0.04)}$ $\implies a=-211250 m/s^2$ Now $F_{avg}=ma$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $F_{avg}=0.012(-211250)$ $\implies F_{avg}=-2535N$
