SUMMARY
The rate of change of momentum equals zero when momentum is constant, indicating that either the momentum is zero or the velocity is constant. In mathematical terms, impulse is defined as Impulse = FΔt = mΔv, which leads to the conclusion that if there is no change in momentum (Δp = 0), then the force (F) acting on the object is also zero. This relationship highlights the direct connection between momentum, impulse, and force in classical mechanics.
