The velocity of an object with a mass of 8 kg is given by v(t)= sin 5 t + cos 3 t . What is the impulse applied to the object at t= ( 3 pi)/ 4 ?

#11.3137 kg.m//s#

Explanation:

Impulse may be given as change in momentum as follows by I(t)=Fdt=mdv.

therefore I(t)=mdv

=md/dt(sin5t+cos3t)

=8(5cos5t-3sin3t)

=40cos5t-24sin3t

thereforeI((3pi)/4)=40cos((5*3pi)/4)-24sin((3*3pi)/4)

=40/sqrt2-24/sqrt2

=16/sqrt2

#11.3137 kg.m//s#
