    The document discusses the impulse-momentum theorem. It defines impulse as the product of force and time interval, and momentum as the product of mass and velocity. Both are vector quantities that take the same direction as force and velocity respectively. The theorem states that impulse equals change in momentum, derived from Newton's second law of motion. An example problem applies the theorem to calculate an unknown force given the change in momentum and time interval.

    IMPULSE MOMENTUM

    THEOREM
    CONCEPT OF MOMENTUM
    • 
    •Formula: I = p – po
    Wherein it was derived from: F=ma:
    F = m()
    =
    F T = mv – mvo
    DEFINITION AND IMPORTANT
    WORDS TO KNOW!
    • Impulses – product of force and the time interval on which the force acts on an
    object. Is a vector quantity with the same direction as the force. Its SI unit is
    newton x second or simply (N*s).

    • Momentum – is the product of mass and velocity. It is a vector quantity, having


    the same direction as the velocity. Is usually represented by small letter p. Its SI
    unit is Kg*m/s. If v is the final velocity then mv is the final momentum. If vo is
    the initial velocity, mvo is the initial momentum.
    SAMPLE PROBLEM

    •An object experiences a change


    of momentum of 54 kg*m/s in 9s.
    What is the force causing this
    change?
    SOLUTION
    • 
    F=
    =
    =6N
