Problem 5

A box is pushed along a frictionless surface by a force that starts at 0 N and increases linearly with time in the positive x-direction. Over a period of 8.0 seconds, the force increases to 400 N, after which it ends abruptly. What is the impulse delivered by the force to the box during this time?
