Kinetic energy KE has dimensions kg · m2/s2. It can be written in terms of the momentum p (Topic 6) and mass m as
KE=p22m
(a) Determine the proper units for momentum using dimensional analysis. (b) Refer to Problem 5. Given the units of force, write a simple equation relating a constant force F exerted on an object, an interval of time t during which the force is applied, and the resulting momentum of the object, p.
