Let's determine the term used to represent a change in momentum.

Also, let's determine what has to occur for there to be a change in momentum of an object.

Impulse can be said to be the amount of change in momentum of an object.

Therefore, the term used to represent a change in momentum is impulse.

Change in momentum can be expressed as:

p = m(Δv)

Where m is the mass, Δv is the change in velocity.

For there to be a change in momentum of an object, there needs to be a change in the velocity of the object.

ANSWER:

Term: Impulse

Determining factors: Velocity, force
