Introduction to Impulse and Momentum | Dynamics

The objectives of this video are to introduce with the concept of impulse and momentum followed by a brief discussion on the relationship between impulse & momentum. First of all, the video clears the concept of impulse stating that impulse is the integral of forces with reference to time and then talks about the SI unit of impulse. Basically, in an impulse the relationship between force & time is inversely proportional. Next, the video discusses on the concept of momentum which is nothing but the product of mass and velocity & subsequently introduces the respective formula of momentum.

Moving on, the video correlates the momentum and impulse with each other successively deriving the equation of impulse in terms of the initial and final momentum. This yields the verity that linear impulse is equal to the change to an object linear momentum and this relationship allows to solve a problem related to impacts, forces and velocities. Overall, the video tries to give a brief inside to the impulse and momentum understanding which is must for the study of engineering mechanics.
