Topic: Momentum, Impulse and change of Momentum
Learning Targets:
- I can calculate and determine the magnitude of a linear momentum by the definition of a linear momentum, p =mv, where m is the mass and v is the velocity of an object and P is the linear
- I can calculate and determine the magnitude of an Impulse by the definition of the Impulse, J== Ft), where F is the force acting on an object and the t is the duration for the force and J is the impulse on an object.
- I can connect the Impulse to the linear momentum by equating the impulse with the change of linear momentum, J= Ft) = F(t2 – t1) = P = ( P2 – P1) = m (V2 – V1)

2. Illustration
(1)Linear momentum P
P =mv; where m is the mass of an object and the v is the velocity of the object and p is the
linear momentum.
(2) Impulse J = Ft)
where F is the force acting on the object and t is the duration of force acting on an object and
J is the impulse on the object.
(3)The unit
- for momentum P is kg-m/s
- for impulse J is n-s
- Equivalent unit : Newton-Second = kg-meter/sec
- P and J are vector quantities
- The momentum has the same direction as the velocity
- The impulse has the same direction as the force.
- Impulse = J = mat) = mt)/(t) [t] = mt} = Impulse = change of momentum
=P = ( P2 – P1) = m (V2 – V1)\
