A 1.5 kg cart is pushed with a constant force of 10 N for 3 seconds. What is the final velocity if it starts from rest?
To calculate the final velocity, we can use the impulse-momentum theorem:
Impulse is also equal to the change in momentum, which is:
From the impulse-momentum theorem, we know:
Substituting the given values:
