Question

Explain the term impulse and Momentum. Prove that impulse is
equal to the change in momentum.​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Impulse is equal to the change in momentum of an object. From this equation we see, that for a given change in momentum, →FnetΔt is fixed. Thus, if →Fnet is reduced, Δt must be increased (i.e. a smaller resultant force must be applied for longer to bring about the same change in momentum).

Answer 2

Momentum: It is the product of mass and velocity.

It is denoted by 'p'.

$p = m \times v$

Impulse: Large force acting in small intervals of time is called Impulse or impulsive force.

$i = \frac{f}{t}$
