1.6 Momentum
1 Define momentum as mass × velocity; recall and use the equation
p = mv
2 Define impulse as force × time for which force acts; recall and use the equation
impulse = FΔt = Δ(mv)
3 Apply the principle of the conservation of momentum to solve simple problems in one dimension
4 Define resultant force as the change in momentum per unit time; recall and use the equation
resultant force = change in momentum
time taken
F = ∆p
∆t
