The magnitude of the force involved in a certain collision (measured in newtons) is equal to the change in momentum (measured in kilogram meters/second). What is the time interval of the collision?
1 answer
A force acting for a given amount of time will change an object's momentum. ... Newton's second law (F net = m • a) stated that the acceleration of an object is directly ... This impulse would cause a momentum change of 720 kg•m/s. In a collision, the impulse experienced by an object is always equal to the momentum change.
