Question

The change in momentum experienced by a object is equivalent to the...

a. objects kinetic energy.
b.force acting on the object.
c. impulse acting on the object.
d. objects potential energy.
e. objects velocity.

Answer 1

Answer: C (impulse acting on the object)

The momentum is defined as it is the impulse acting on the force . Change in momentum is known as Impulse. Impulse is used to increase or decrease the momentum of object.

From Newtons II law

F = m. a

= m. v/t since a = rate of change of velocity.

F . t = m . v

F . t is known as impulse momentum
