Impulse-Momentum Theorem
Table of Contents
The Impulse-Momentum Theorem denotes the relationship between the change in momentum and a force that is applied over a time interval. It is given by:
$$ J = \Delta p = F \Delta t $$
Where
- \( \small \small J \) is the impulse,
- \( \small \small \Delta p \) is the change in momentum (which is how impulse is defined),
- \( \small \small F \) is the net applied force, and
- \( \small \small \Delta t \) is the time interval over which the force is applied.
