Problem

A 2.0 kg2.0\,\text{kg} cart is initially at rest on a horizontal, frictionless track. A student applies a constant horizontal force of 10 N10\,\text{N} on the cart for 0.40 s0.40\,\text{s}. The system is defined as the cart alone. Calculate the magnitude of the impulse delivered to the system and state its direction.
