1.2 Impulse The impulse-momentum theorem states that
the change in momentum of an object is equal to the impulse applied to it.
Impulse (J) is defined as the product of the force (F) applied to an object and
the time interval (Δt) over which the force is applied: J = F * Δt The impulse-momentum theorem can be
mathematically represented as: Physical Significance: The theorem provides a link between force
and momentum, illustrating how a force applied over a period of time can change
an object's momentum. This concept is crucial in understanding collisions,
where forces often act over short time intervals, causing significant changes
in momentum. Example Problem: A force of 100 N is applied to a 10 kg
object for 3 seconds. What is the change in momentum of the object? Solution: First, calculate the impulse: |
