A 2-kg object accelerates as a net external force is applied to it. During the 5-second interval that the
force is
applied, the object’s velocity changes from 3 m/s to the right to 7 m/s to the left.

Several students discussing the impulse on this object state the following:
Andre: “The impulse is equal to the change in momentum, which is (2 kg)(3 m/s + 7 m/s) = 20 kg·
m/s.”
Bela: “But the change in velocity is 4 m/s. We multiply by the mass to get the change in
momentum, and also the impulse, which is 8 kg·m/s.”
Carleton: “The change in momentum of this object during these 5 seconds was 8 kg·m/s so
the impulse applied to this object during these 5 seconds was 8/5 kg·m/s.”
Dylan: “The impulse is the force F times the time t, and since we don’t know the force, we can’t
find the impulse for this situation.”

A. With which, if any, of these


students do you agree? (1 pt)

B. Explain your reasoning. (2 pts)
