Impulse and Momentum


Momentum (p)- is the product of the mass and
velocity.
p= mV

Impulse (I) is the product of the average force


and the time interval during which the force
acts.
I = F .∆t

The change in momentum of a body during the


time interval is equal to the net force that acts
on the body during the time interval.
∆P = F∆t
M (V 1- V 0 )= F(t f - t o)
