Question

How does momentum relate to impulse ?

A. Impulse is to change the momentum
B.Momentum is stored by objects and impulse is transfer between them

C. Impulse = F*t=(m*a)*t= m*(a*t) = m*Dv= D(Momentum) (“D” here’s mean Delta so change in)

D. The amount of impose transferred to an object is the amount by which it’s momentum changes

E. All of the above

Answer 1

C. Impulse = F*t=(m*a)*t= m*(a*t) = m*Dv= D(Momentum) (“D” here’s mean Delta so change in)

Step-by-step explanation:

In fact, the impulse is equal to the change in momentum of an object.

Impulse is defined as the product between the force (F) and the time (t):

`I=Ft`

however, the force is defined as the product between mass (m) and acceleration (a):

`F=ma\\I=(ma)t`

But the product a (acceleration) times t (time) is equal to the change in velocity of the object:

`I=m(at)=m \Delta v`

And this is exactly the definition of change in momentum:

`I = m\Delta v = \Delta p`
