Impulse
Impulse is a fundamental concept in classical mechanics that describes the effect of a force acting on an object over a short period of time. It is equivalent to the change in momentum of the object and is essential for understanding various physical phenomena, such as collisions and explosions. Definition of Impulse Impulse () is…

Chapter 22: Momentum, Impulse, and Collisions
22.1 Introduction to Momentum In this chapter, we will explore the concepts of impulse and momentum, two essential principles in the study of mechanics. We will discuss the relationship of these two topics, their role in analyzing collisions, and their relevance in real-life situations. 22.2 Linear Momentum Linear momentum, often simply referred to as momentum,…
