What is f delta t?
GeneralClass 12AllAnswered 27 Mar 2026
Answer
F × Δt represents impulse, the change in momentum:
- F = average force (N)
- Δt = time interval (s)
- Impulse = change in momentum = Δp = mΔv
This is from the impulse-momentum theorem: F × Δt = m(v_f - v_i)
Different from work (F × d), impulse involves force over time rather than distance.
