Aspace probe is traveling in outer space with a momentum that has a magnitude of 5.16 x 107 kg·m/s. a retrorocket is fired to slow down the probe. it applies a force to the probe that has a magnitude of 1.19 x 106 n and a direction opposite to the probe's motion. it fires for a period of 10.9 s. determine the momentum of the probe after the retrorocket ceases to fire.

Explanation:

When a force is applied to an object over a certain period of time, it is said to apply an impulse to the object. The magnitude of the impulse is given by:

J=F*Δt

When an impulse is provided to an object, the momentum of the object will change, as in:

J=Δp=

So given:

Initial momentum

Applied force

J=

F*Δt=

false

explanation:

boats, things on boats luggage are way more heavy then water.
