The discussion revolves around the relationship between impulse and momentum change, specifically in the context of an impulse of 25 N~s. Participants are exploring how this impulse relates to the change in momentum of an object, such as a cart.
There is an ongoing exploration of the concepts involved, with some participants affirming the relationship between impulse and momentum change. Questions about the units of momentum and the interpretation of the impulse in the context of the problem are being raised, indicating a productive dialogue.
Participants are noting potential confusion regarding the units of momentum and impulse, as well as the implications of momentum conservation in this scenario.
Impulse is change in momentum.you too said:

If you calculate what a Newton is in primary units, you'll see that [itex]Ns=kg\,m/s[/itex]you too said:
Sorry, I mixed you up with the OP.*best&sweetest* said:geoffjb said:
is that question for me?
Ft is impulse and mv is momentum, and impulse = change in momentum, or maybe it wasn't a question for me?
you too said:so if it asks what change in momentum does the cart undergo, i write 25 N~s?
Yes!
geoffjb, it's OK!
