HOW HARD IS TO STOP
MOVING OBJECTS?
To stop an object, we have to apply a force over a period
of time. This is called impulse.
Unit : N. s
Impulse = Ft F = force (N)
t = time elapsed (s)
IMPULSE
The product of the average force acting to an object
and the time during it acts.
. A vector quantity, and can also be calculated by finding the area
under a force versus time curved.
HOW HARD IS TO STOP
MOVING OBJECTS?
. Using Newton's 2nd law we get
Ft=mv
Which means:
Impulse = Change in momentum
