Answer:
J = 1600 kg-m/s
Explanation:
Given that,
The mass of charging bull rams, m = 800 kg
Initial speed, u = 5 m/s
Final speed, v = 3 m/s
We need to find the impulse the bull experience by smashing the fence. Let it is J. We know that, impulse is equal to the change in momentum such that,
J = m(v-u)
Put all the values,
J = 800(3-5)
= 800(-2)
= -1600 kg-m/s
Hence, the magnitude of impulse is equal to 1600 kg-m/s.
