M = 115 kg.

Final velocity, v = 10 m/s to the east

Initial Velocity, u = 13 m/s to the east

Impulse = m(v - u)

= 115*(10 - 13)

= 115*-3 = -345 kgm/s or -345 Ns

Answer from: cabr379

An impulse of $\boxed{345\text{ N}\cdot\text{s}}$ to the west is required to decrease the speed of the boat from $13\text{ m/s}$ east to $10\text{ m/s}$ east.

Further explanation:

When a force acted upon an object for a very small time, is called impulse. Force is a rate of change of momentum with respect to time. Therefore if momentum associated with an object is changed in a very short time, the force exerted on the object is called the impulse.

Given:

Mass of the boat is $115\text{ kg}$ .

Initial speed of the boat is $13\text{ m/s}$ to the east.

Final velocity of the boat is $10\text{ m/s}$ to the east.

Concept:

Let’s assume east direction as the positive direction of x axis.

Write the expression for impulse

$\begin{aligned}I&={{\vec F}_{{\text{avg}}}}\cdot\Delta t\\&=\Delta m\vec V\\\end{aligned}$

Here, is the impulse force, $\Delta m\vec V$ is the change of momentum, $\Delta t$ is the time and is the mass of the boat.

In the above expression is a constant, therefore above expression can be rewritten as

$I=m\cdot\Delta\vec V$ …… (1)

Here, $\Delta\vec V$ is the change in the velocity of the boat.

Write the expression for change in velocity

$\Delta\vec V={V_{\text{f}}}-{V_{\text{i}}}$ …… (2)

Here, ${V_{\text{f}}}$ is the final velocity of boat and ${V_{\text{i}}}$ is the initial velocity of the boat.

Substitute $13\text{ m/s}$ for ${V_{\text{i}}}$ and $10\text{ m/s}$ for ${V_{\text{f}}}$ in equation (2).

$\begin{aligned}\Delta \vec V&=\left( {10\,\hat i}\right)-\left( {13\,\hat i}\right)\\&=3\,\left({-\hat i}\right)\\\end{aligned}$

Substitute $3\,{\text{m/s}}\,\left( { - \hat i} \right)$ for $\Delta \vec V$ and $115\text{ kg}$ for in equation (1).

$\begin{aligned}I&=\left({115\,{\text{kg}}}\right)\left( {-3\,{\text{m/s}}\,\hat i}\right)\\&=345\,{\text{N.s}}\left({-\hat i} \right)\\\end{aligned}$

Here, indicate that the impulse acts in opposite of east direction.

Thus, an impulse of $\boxed{345\text{ N.s}}$ to the west is required to decrease the speed of the boat from $13\text{ m/s}$ east to $10\text{ m/s}$ east.

Aboat radioed a distress call to a coast guard station. at the time of the call, a vector a from the station to the boat had a magnitude of 45.0 km and was directed 15.0° east of north. a vector from the station to the point where the boat was later found is = 30.0 km, 15.0° north of east. what are the components of the vector from the point where the distress call was made to point where the boat was found? in other words, what are the components of vector c = b - a?
