Momentum is a measure of an object's motion, taking into account its mass and velocity. It represents the amount of "oomph" an object has when it is in motion.
Impulse is the change in momentum of an object when a force is applied to it for a certain amount of time. It is a measure of how much the object's motion changes due to the force acting on it.
- Momentum and impulse are crucial concepts in physics, especially in the study of collisions and interactions between objects.
- They help us understand how objects move and interact with each other in a dynamic system.
Some common examples of related units of measurements: - Momentum: kgm/s - Impulse: Ns
(momentum base)
m*kg/s
Momentum is the product of an object's mass and velocity; impulse is the change in momentum due to a force applied over a period of time. |
