5 Questions
What is the equation for impulse?
$J = F\Delta t$
What is the SI unit of linear momentum?
Kilogram-meter/second (kg·m/s)
What is the equation for the impulse-momentum theorem?
$(\sum F)\Delta t = m(v_f - v_o)$
What does the linear momentum of an object depend on?
Velocity and mass
What is the direction of impulse?
Same as the average force
This quiz covers the definitions of impulse and linear momentum in physics. It explains how impulse is the product of average force and time interval, and how linear momentum is the product of an object's mass and velocity.
