Question: A 50 kg mass is sitting on a frictionless surface.

An unknown constant force pushes the mass for 2 seconds until the mass reaches a velocity of 3 m/s.

a. What is the initial momentum of the mass?

b. What is the final momentum of the mass?

c. What was the force acting on the mass?

d. What was the impulse acting on the mass?

# calculate the initial momentum of the mass

initial_momentum = 50 * 0 # m/s
print(initial_momentum)

# calculate the final momentum of the mass

final_momentum = 50 * 3 # m/s
print(final_momentum)

# calculate the force applied to the mass
force = (50 * 3) / 2 # N
print(force)

# calculate the impulse acting on the mass

impulse = force * 2 # Ns
print(impulse)
