What is momen...

Question

What is momentum and impulse ?

Open in App

Solution

Momentum is mass in motion, and any moving object can have momentum.

An object's change in momentum is equal to its impulse.

Impulse is a quantity of force times the time interval.

Impulse is not equal to momentum itself; rather, it's the increase or decrease of an object's momentum.
