Question
Part C: Evaluate the numerical value of the final momentum of the t-shirt using the results from Parts A and B.

Transcribed Image Text:Part A
The integral with respect to time of a force applied to an object is a measure called impulse, and the impulse applied to an object during a time interval determines its change in momentum during the time interval. The safety of a t-shirt launcher, used to help get crowds cheering at baseball
games, is being evaluated. As a first step in the evaluation, engineers consider the design momentum of the launched t-shirts. The springs in the launcher are designed to apply a variable force to a t-shirt over a time interval of t = 0.5 s. The force as a function of time is given by
F(t) = at² + b, where a = -28 N/s² and b = 7.0 N.
•t=tL
The momentum of the t-shirt will be its initial momentum (po = 0) plus its change in momentum due to the applied impulse: pf = po+ St=t¹ F(t) dt. By applying the given time dependent function for F(t) and performing the integration, which of the following is the correct expression for
Pf?

Correct
We check that we have obtained the correct form of the integral by performing differentiation of t³ + bt with respect to t, which gives at² + b = F(t) as expected.

Part B
•t=t
The units of the momentum of the t-shirt are the units of the integral St=t¹ F(t) dt, where F(t) has units of N and t has units of s. Given that 1 N = 1 kg. m/s², the units of momentum are:

Correct
The units of a quantity obtained by integration will be the units of the integrand times the units of the differential.
