. How to calculate momentum and impulse?
GeneralClass 12AllAnswered 27 Mar 2026
Answer
To calculate momentum: Multiply the object's mass by its velocity (p = mv).
To calculate impulse: Either multiply force by time (F × Δt) or find the change in momentum (final momentum - initial momentum = Δp).
Example: A 1,000 kg car traveling at 20 m/s has momentum = 1,000 × 20 = 20,000 kg·m/s.
