The change in momentum experienced by a object is equivalent to the ...

a. objects kinetic energy.

b. force acting on the object.

c. impulse acting on the object.

d. objects potential energy.

e. objects velocity.

Answer: C (impulse acting on the object)

The momentum is defined as it is the impulse acting on the force. Change in momentum is known as Impulse. Impulse is used to increase or decrease the momentum of object.

From Newtons II law

F = m. a

= m. v/t since a = rate of change of velocity.

F. t = m. v

F. t is known as impulse momentum
