TypeImpulse and momentum, vector form
DifficultyStandard +0.3 This is a straightforward M2 impulse-momentum question requiring students to apply the impulse-momentum theorem (impulse = change in momentum), calculate the change in momentum vector, find its magnitude, set equal to the given impulse magnitude, and solve for c. It involves standard vector arithmetic and equation solving with no novel insight required, making it slightly easier than average.

3. A particle of mass 0.6 kg is moving with constant velocity ( \(c \mathbf { i } + 2 c \mathbf { j }\) ) \(\mathrm { ms } ^ { - 1 }\), where \(c\) is a positive constant. The particle receives an impulse of magnitude \(2 \sqrt { 10 } \mathrm {~N} \mathrm {~s}\). Immediately after receiving the impulse the particle has velocity ( \(2 c \mathbf { i } - c \mathbf { j }\) ) \(\mathrm { ms } ^ { - 1 }\). Find the value of \(c\).
(6)

Since this question is about the magnitude of the impulse, condone subtraction in the "wrong order" throughout.

3. A particle of mass 0.6 kg is moving with constant velocity ( $c \mathbf { i } + 2 c \mathbf { j }$ ) $\mathrm { ms } ^ { - 1 }$, where $c$ is a positive constant. The particle receives an impulse of magnitude $2 \sqrt { 10 } \mathrm {~N} \mathrm {~s}$. Immediately after receiving the impulse the particle has velocity ( $2 c \mathbf { i } - c \mathbf { j }$ ) $\mathrm { ms } ^ { - 1 }$.
