GCSE Physics – Topic 1.6Momentum


-- Extended --


Define momentum as mass × velocity; recall and use the equation p = mv.


Define impulse as force × time for which force acts; recall and use the equation impulse = FΔt = Δ(mv).


Apply the principle of the conservation of momentum to solve simple problems in one dimension.


Define resultant force as the change in momentum per unit time; recall and use the equation F = Δp/Δt.
