Question 5





Q5:A toy rocket engine is securely fastened to a large puck that can glide with negligible friction over a horizontal surface, taken as the xy plane. The -kg puck has a velocity of i m/s at one instant. seconds later, its velocity is i + j m/s. Assuming the rocket engine exerts a constant horizontal force, find (a) the components of the force and (b) its magnitude.
