In attempting to pull a 1500 kg car out of a ditch, Al exerts a force of 200 N for 5 s, Bill exerts a force of 500 N for two s, and Clyde exerts a force of 300 N for four seconds. The car does not move at all. Who provided the greatest impulse?

Clyde will provide greater impulse

Explanation:

We have given that Al exerts a force of 200 N for 5 sec

We know that impulse is given by, impulse = force * time = 200*5 = 1000 N-s

Bill exerts a force of 500 N for 2 sec

So impulse = 500*2 = 1000 N-s

Now the force exerted by Clyde 300 N for 4 sec

So impulse = 300*4 = 1200 N-s

From above calculation we can see that Clyde provide greater impulse than any other
