Question 31

A hockey puck with momentum 3.5 kg m/s is struck by a hockey stick.

The stick causes the direction of motion of the puck to reverse.

The stick exerts an average force of 1200 N during the impact with the puck. The stick and puck are in contact with each other for a time of 0.0050 s.

What is the magnitude of the momentum of the puck as it leaves the hockey stick?

A

2.5 kg m/s2.5\text{ kg m/s}2.5 kg m/s

B

3.5 kg m/s3.5\text{ kg m/s}3.5 kg m/s

C

6.0 kg m/s6.0\text{ kg m/s}6.0 kg m/s

D

9.5 kg m/s9.5\text{ kg m/s}9.5 kg m/s
