Here's how to understand the relationship between force, time, and impulse:

Impulse

Impulse is the change in momentum of an object. It's calculated as:

* Impulse (J) = Force (F) * Time (Δt)

The Scenario

You're given:

* Force (F) = 10 N

* Time (Δt) is doubled.

The Effect on Impulse

Since impulse is directly proportional to time, if you double the time the force acts, you double the impulse.

In Conclusion

If the same force of 10 N acts on a cart for twice the time, the impulse will be twice as large.
