Both impulse and change in momentum are important physics concepts and have important implications in multiple areas such as analyzing collisions, predicting crash injuries and even helping to analyze rockets and space travel.\r\n\r\nIf you check out the units used in either F t or in m \u2206v, you get two new unit combinations:\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Ns and kg m\/s (or kg ms<sup>-1<\/sup>)<\/p>\r\nThese\u00a0units are equivalent and can be used for either measure, with the most common unit being <strong>Ns<\/strong>\u00a0because it is quicker to write down.\u00a0 They are interchangeable and you should expect them to be switched around and should require no explanation.\r\n\r\nIn this chapter we are also adding these two measures of <strong>Impulse <\/strong>([latex]J = F t[\/latex]) and <strong>Change in Momentum <\/strong>([latex]\\Delta p = m \\Delta v[\/latex])\u00a0to Chapters 1 - 6 (our study of mechanics) and as such will be using all previous equations and variables that have been used up to this point.\r\n<h1>8.1 Linear Momentum<\/h1>\r\n<div class=\"textbox\">Extra Help: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.physicsclassroom.com\/class\/momentum\/Lesson-1\/Momentum\">Momentum<\/a><\/div>\r\nEquations Introduced or Used for this Section:\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Momentum [latex](p) = m v[\/latex]<\/p>\r\nMomentum is used in common discussions and generally refers to the concept that once something is in motion or is moving then it becomes difficult to change. You can hear this referred to the momentum of a game, where one team starts to dominate the other team, or in politics, where one politician or party is gaining strength and can challenge the leader or is simply increasing its lead over the others.\r\n\r\nIn physics, momentum is a very specific term that is used in both vector and scalar situations.\r\n\r\nIt is the product of the mass of the object times the speed or the velocity of the object. This product gives us a very specific measure of this object and allows us to calculate multiple analyses.\r\n\r\nWe all have a logical understanding of momentum.

In contact sports, most athletes now wear protective headgear, such as helmets, and in many parts of the world the law requires that people wear such helmets when riding scooters, bicycles and motorcycles.\u00a0 Headgear like helmets will extend the time of a force acting on a person\u2019s head if they encounter a blow. Since the change in the momentum remains the same, if the time of the blow increases, the force of the blow is decreased. This lowers the chance of severe brain injuries.\r\n\r\nCushioning and reducing the impact of blows are not restricted to contact sports but include cushioned surfaces and mats for individuals involved in sports such as gymnastics, cheerleading and wrestling or other martial arts. Injuries increase in severity if surfaces where the individual impacts the surface are solid and have no cushioning surface that can absorb and reduce the forces acting.\u00a0 Automobiles prior to 1959 did not have seat belts or air bags that are currently used as safety features to reduce driver and passenger injuries. As a result, passenger mortality began to dramatically decrease post 1959 due to increased focus on ways one could reduce the impact injuries on vehicle occupants.\r\n<div>\r\n<div class=\"textbox textbox--examples\"><header class=\"textbox__header\">\r\n<p class=\"textbox__title\">Example 8.3.1<\/p>\r\n\r\n<\/header>\r\n<div class=\"textbox__content\">\r\n\r\nAn unbalanced force of 1200 N acts on an object for 4.2 s.

In contact sports, most athletes now wear protective headgear, such as helmets, and in many parts of the world the law requires that people wear such helmets when riding scooters, bicycles and motorcycles.\u00a0 Headgear like helmets will extend the time of a force acting on a person\u2019s head if they encounter a blow. Since the change in the momentum remains the same, if the time of the blow increases, the force of the blow is decreased. This lowers the chance of severe brain injuries.<\/p>\n<p>Cushioning and reducing the impact of blows are not restricted to contact sports but include cushioned surfaces and mats for individuals involved in sports such as gymnastics, cheerleading and wrestling or other martial arts. Injuries increase in severity if surfaces where the individual impacts the surface are solid and have no cushioning surface that can absorb and reduce the forces acting.\u00a0 Automobiles prior to 1959 did not have seat belts or air bags that are currently used as safety features to reduce driver and passenger injuries. As a result, passenger mortality began to dramatically decrease post 1959 due to increased focus on ways one could reduce the impact injuries on vehicle occupants.<\/p>\n<div>\n<div class=\"textbox textbox--examples\">\n<header class=\"textbox__header\">\n<p class=\"textbox__title\">Example 8.3.1<\/p>\n<\/header>\n<div class=\"textbox__content\">\n<p>An unbalanced force of 1200 N acts on an object for 4.2 s.
