Question

What is the difference between momentum and impulse?

Answer 1

Difference between momentum and impulse:

Momentum	Impulse
1. Momentum is the product of the mass and the velocity.	1. While the impulse is the change in momentum.
2. Momentum is defined by the equation: $p=mv$ Here, $p$ is the momentum, $m$ is the mass, and $v$ is the velocity.	2. Impulse is defined by the equation: $∆p=F∆t$ Here, $∆p$ is the change in momentum, $F$ applied force, and $∆t$ elapsed time.
3. Its SI unit is $Kg-m/s$	3. Its SI unit is $Kg-m/s$

Thus, in short, we can say that impulse is equal to the change in momentum.
