What is the euation for linear momentum and impulse?
GeneralClass 12AllAnswered 27 Mar 2026
Answer
The impulse-momentum euation is Impulse = ΔP or F·Δt = mv - mu. Impulse is the change in momentum caused by a force acting over a time interval. This euation shows that applying a force F for time Δt changes an object's momentum from its initial value (mu) to its final value (mv). This principle explains why airbags and crumple zones in cars reduce injury during collisions.
