An impulse of 25 N·s directly correlates to a change in momentum, as established by the momentum-impulse theorem, which states that the change in momentum (Δp) equals the impulse applied. This means that if an impulse of 25 N·s is applied, the momentum of the object changes by 25 N·s, indicating that momentum is not conserved in this scenario. The relationship between impulse and momentum is fundamental in physics, where impulse is defined as the product of force and the time duration over which it acts.

Impulse is change in momentum.you too said:
Ft=m\Delta v*best&sweetest* said:
If you calculate what a Newton is in primary units, you'll see that Ns=kg\,m/syou 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!
