Explore the concepts of momentum and impulse, their definitions, and applications in physics through this educational resource.

When we calculate impulse, we are multiplying force by time. This is equivalent to finding the area under a force-time curve. This is useful because the area can just as easily be found for a …

Overview of key terms and equations related to impulse, including how impulse can be calculated from a force vs. time graph.

Impulse is a change in an object's momentum. The impulse experienced by an object is equal to the net force acting on the object multiplied by the length of time the force acts (Δp = ΣFΔt).

Overview of key terms and equations related to impulse, including how impulse can be calculated from a force vs. time graph.

Practice solving for the impulse and force applied during a dodgeball collision using the impulse-momentum theorem.

Impulse is a change in an object's momentum. The impulse experienced by an object is equal to the net force acting on the object multiplied by the length of time the force acts (Δp = ΣFΔt).

As a result, when you do this, the force acting on you will also reduce. Isn't that beautiful? And almost an everyday application of this new formulation. That the net force acting on you equals …

Overview of key terms and equations related to impulse, including how impulse can be calculated from a force vs. time graph.

Relate the concepts of momentum, impulse, force, and time through graphs and calculations, and use these relationships to predict the motion of objects in a system.
