Momentum and Impulse

Momentum can be thought of as "mass in motion." All objects have mass; if an object is moving, then it has momentum. Impulse is a term that quantifies the overall effect of a force acting over time.

  • Momentum (p = mv): Mass multiplied by velocity.
  • Impulse (J = FΞ”t): The change in momentum resulting from a force applied over a time interval.

In a closed system, total momentum is conserved during collisions, a fundamental principle used in engineering and ballistics.
