_Summary: Impulse and Momentum_
Impulse and momentum are key concepts in physics, illustrating how forces affect an object's motion. The impulse experienced by an object is the integral of force over time (J = ∫F dt), resulting in a change in momentum (Δp). This relationship is encapsulated in the impulse-momentum theorem, stating that the change in an object's momentum is equal to the impulse applied. Graphically, impulse can be visualized as the area under a force-time curve. This principle helps analyze and predict outcomes in collisions and other dynamic events.
