Impulse is the product of force and the time duration for which it acts.

Cards in this deck

Define impulse.

True or False? Impulse is equal to force divided by change in time.

True or False? Force and impulse are the same concept.

What is the equation for calculating impulse?

What is the relationship between impulse and change in momentum?

Define force in terms of momentum.

How do you calculate the change in momentum of an object?

State the equation for force in terms of momentum.

True or False? Force can be expressed as the change in velocity over time.

True or False? Momentum is a scalar quantity.

Define momentum.

True or False? An object at rest has momentum.

What is the equation of momentum?

How does momentum affect an object's motion?

True or False? Momentum can be either positive or negative.

What are the three conditions under which the momentum of an object will change?

What is the principle of conservation of momentum?

True or False? The conservation of momentum applies only to single objects.

What is a closed system in the context of momentum?

State the condition for momentum to be conserved in a collision.

True or False? In the absence of external forces, momentum is always conserved in a collision over time.
