Use the impulse-momentum theorem to find how long a stone falling straight down takes to increase its speed from 3.7 m/s to 9.90 m/s.

Time taken is 0.632 seconds

Explanation:

Impulse momentum theorem is change in momentum is impulse.

Change in momentum = Impulse

Final momentum - Initial momentum = Impulse

Mass x Final velocity - Mass x Initial Velocity = Force x Time

Mass x Final velocity - Mass x Initial Velocity = Mass x Acceleration x Time

Final velocity - Initial Velocity = Acceleration x Time

Final velocity = 9.9 m/s

Initial Velocity = 3.7 m/s

Acceleration = 9.81 m/s²

Substituting

9.9 - 3.7 = 9.81 x Time

Time = 0.632 seconds

Time taken is 0.632 seconds
