MOMENTUM, IMPULSE and

PRESSURE
Momentum

Inertia in motion
“bashing power”

(momentum = mass of object x speed)

objects at rest have no
momentum
since speed = 0
large momentum is the
result of large mass or
high speed
Impulse
How long it takes an object
to change its momentum

Impulse = force applied x time

force it applied
 PRESSURE

Force applied by an object over a

certain area
Applying more force over the same
area will increase the pressure
Applying the same force over a larger
area will decrease the pressure
Units for pressure are Pascals (Pa)
