The more mass an object has, the more momentum it has. When the question talks about forces, times, and momenta, we immediately think of the impulse momentum theorem, which tells us that, to change the momentum of an object, we must exert a net external force on it over a time.
If we substitute fdpdt from the definition of momentum, we can transform the integral. Impulse and momentum change according to newtons 2nd law the application of a net force on an object will result in the object accelerating aka changing velocity f ma m.

The quantity on the right is the change in momentum. The impulse momentum theorem is logically equivalent to newtons second law of motion the force law.
As much as we commonly misuse scientific words in common language, we do have a reasonable grasp of the word momentum. The newton is a compound unit, defined as, the newtonsecond is thus, conservation of momentum when two objects interact, such as in a collision, they may exert forces on each. Therefore the impulse is equal to the final momentum of the ball, or the momentum imparted to the ball from the player. When a pitcher throws a ball to the catcher, accelerating the ball from rest, the force he exerts on the ball in the process a. Collisions in this lecture, we will consider the equations that result from integrating newtons second law, f. A force acting upon an object for some duration of time results in an impulse. This means there is a certain specified change in momentum.
By combining the impulse momentum equation with the rtt applied to mass i. It further follows that the total momentum before the collision is equal to the total momentum after the collision. It was ultimately determined that impulse was equal to the change in momentum, and that the magnitude of force for inelastic collisions is greater than that in elastic collisions. To determine the momentum of a particle to add time and study the relationship of impulse and momentum to see when momentum is conserved and examine the implications of conservation to use momentum as a tool to explore a variety of collisions to understand the center of mass.
