Impulse and the change in momentum

A soccer ball of mass $0.5\text{ kg},$ initially at rest, is kicked by a force of magnitude $1200\text{ N}$ for $15\text{ ms}.$ What is the velocity of the ball after the kick?

{18}\text{ m/s}

{72}\text{ m/s}

{54}\text{ m/s}

{36}\text{ m/s}

A water-rocket of mass $2\text{ kg}$ blasts off from the ground. The lifting force applied on the rocket by the water is $24\text{ N},$ and the air resistance is negligible. Assuming that the mass of the water-rocket does not change, how fast will the rocket be after $5$ seconds?

The gravitational acceleration is $g=10\text{ m/s}^2.$

{100}\text{ m/s}

{10}\text{ m/s}

{9}\text{ m/s}

{101}\text{ m/s}

{5}\text{ N}\cdot\text{s}

{11}\text{ N}\cdot\text{s}

{137}\text{ N}\cdot\text{s}

{55}\text{ N}\cdot\text{s}

A golfer strikes a golf ball of mass $0.04\text{ kg}$ with a force of magnitude $400\text{ N}.$ If the time of impact between the golf club and the ball is $3\text{ ms},$ what is the velocity of the ball after the strike?

{30}\text{ m/s}

{20}\text{ m/s}

{45}\text{ m/s}
