Question

Which of these values is equivalent to the change in momentum of

Answer 1

Answer : The correct option is, (A) impulse

Explanation :

Change in momentum : It is the product of the mass of an object and the change in velocity of an object.

Formula : $\Delta p=m\times \Delta V$

Impulse : It is the product of the force applied on the object and the time. It is also equivalent to the change in momentum of  an object.

Formula : $J=F\times t$

And the impulse is also equal to the change in momentum.

Proof of $J=\Delta p$ :

$J=F\times t\\\\J=(m\times a)\times t\\\\J=m\times (a\times t)\\\\J=m\times \Delta v=\Delta p$

Force : It is the product of mass of an object and acceleration of an object.

Velocity : It is defined as the change in the position of an object in unit time.

Acceleration : It is defined as the change in the velocity of an object in a unit time.

Hence, the impulse is equivalent to the change in momentum of  an object.

Answer 2

A. An impulse of a force changes the momentum of a body and has the same units and dimensions as momentum.
