Physics

To determine the change in momentum of the object, we will again use the impulse-momentum theorem:

Where:

is the change in momentum,

is the net force acting on the object,

is the time interval over which the forces act.

Calculate the forces acting on the object.

The object has the following forces acting on it:

1. Gravitational force (weight): The weight of the object is calculated using:

This force is acting downward.

2. Force : This force is upward.

3. Force : This force is downward.

Calculate the net force .

The net force is the sum of all forces, considering their directions. We take upward forces as positive and downward forces as negative:
