B. Jerome plays middle linebacker for South's varsity football team. In a game against

cross-town rival North, he delivered a hit to North's 82-kg running back, changing his

impulse delivered to the running back.

a. 210 kgm/s

b. 250 kgm/s

C. 460 kgm/s

    Option D

    670 Kg. m/s

    Explanation:

    Initial momentum is given by mv=82*5.6=459.2 Kg. m/s (taking eastward as positive)

    Final momentum is also mv but v being westward direction, we take it negative

    Final momentum=82*-2.5 = - 205 Kg. m/s

    Change in momentum=Final momentum-Initial momentum=-205-459.2=-664.2 Kg. m/s

    Impulse=change in momentum=664.2 Kg. m/s rounded off as 670 Kg. m/s
