The mass of the car stays the same (it is a constant). a. Write Newton's 2nd Law for a system that only includes the car. b. Integrate your Newton's 2nd Law equation with respect to time fromt = 0 to t = 2t1 to determine an expression that relates the impulse exerted on the car to the mass and acceleration of the car. c. Determine the magnitude of the impulse on the car from t = 0 to t = 2t1. Note: this is the vector sum of all the impulses or "net impulse" acting on the car during this time period.arrow_forwardTwo ice skaters, Bobby and Frankie, stand facing each other on very slippery ice.
