Problem

A force of 50 N50\,\text{N} acts on a ball of mass 2.0 kg2.0\,\text{kg} moving initially with a velocity of 5 m s−15\,\text{m\,s}^{-1} in the same direction as the force for 4 s4\,\text{s}. Answer the following: (i) Find the initial momentum of the ball. (ii) Calculate the change in momentum produced by the force. (iii) Determine the final velocity of the ball at the end of 4 s4\,\text{s}.
