Momentum is a measure of an object's motion and is calculated by multiplying its mass by its velocity. Impulse is the change in momentum that occurs when a force is applied to an object over a period of time.
Momentum and impulse are directly proportional to each other. This means that the greater the impulse applied to an object, the greater the change in its momentum will be.
During a collision, momentum is conserved, meaning that the total momentum before and after the collision remains the same. The impulse applied during the collision can change the direction and speed of the objects involved.
In an elastic collision, the total kinetic energy of the objects involved is conserved. In an inelastic collision, some of the kinetic energy is converted into other forms such as heat or sound.
Momentum and impulse are important concepts in sports, such as in the motion of a soccer ball after being kicked or in the movement of a race car. They are also used in engineering and physics to design safer and more efficient structures, machines, and vehicles.
