Examples of Impulse Changing Momentum
Remember: Impulse is equal to force multiplied by time, but it is also equal to change in momentum. So, if you want to change the momentum of an object, you must impart an impulse upon it. And, as we have already discussed, typically a change in momentum is a change in velocity.
We will discuss three ways in which impulse can be used to change momentum:
We will discuss three ways in which impulse can be used to change momentum:
- Impulse Can Change Momentum a Lot by Making an Object Go Really Fast
- Impulse Can Change Momentum a Little by Making an Object Go Not-So-Fast
- Impulse Can Change Momentum by Making an Object Go Slow
