Answer:
The fact that change in moment is equal to force times duration can be derived from Newton's Second Law of Motion (assuming that the net force on the object is constant.)
Step-by-step explanation:
Let denote the mass of an object. Let denote the change in the velocity of this object. The change in momentum of this object will be .
Let denote the net force (resultant force) on the object. Let denote the acceleration of this object. By the law of motion, , or equivalently, .
Assume that this net force is constant and is exerted on this object over a period of . With an acceleration of , the velocity of this object would have changed by:
.
Multiply both sides of this equation by the mass of the object to obtain:
Note that is equal to the change in momentum (.) Therefore, if the net force on the object is constant, the change in the momentum over time period will be equal to (net impulse on the object.)
