Momentum and impulse example problems in one dimension are presented and solved. All these practice problems are for your homework and/or the AP Physics 1 exam.
What is impulse? Answer: Impulse is the product of a force and the time interval over which it acts on an object. It represents the change in momentum of the object and is given by the formula Impulse = F × Δ t. How does impulse relate to momentum? Answer: Impulse is equal to the change in momentum of an object. If an object experiences an ...

Impulse and momentum are physical concepts easily seen from the Laws of Motion. This example problem shows how to find impulse and momentum of a system.
Momentum and Impulse Practice Problems Physics Academic Classroom Practice 1. A 1300 kg race car is traveling at 80 m/s while a 15,000 kg truck is traveling at 20 m/s. Which has the greater momentum? 2. A 300 kg snowmobile is traveling at 30 m/s. How fast would a 200 kg snowmobile need to travel to have the same momentum? 3.
Given that a force is being applied to an object during a time interval, then find the impulse (𝑱 𝒙). 𝐽 =∫ 〖 𝑑 =500∫ 𝑑 8 0 =500[ 𝑓 −〗 𝑖] 𝑓 𝑖 =500 [0.008𝑚 −0 ]=4𝑁∙ Now, use the impulse-momentum theorem (∆𝑃 =𝐽 ) to solve for the final velocity. ∆𝑃 =𝐽 𝑃 𝑓 −𝑃
This collection of problem sets and problems target student ability to use momentum, impulse, and conservations principles to solve physics word problems associated with collisions, explosions, and explosive-like impulses.
Impulse-Momentum: Determine the momentum of our spacecraft. What mass of interstellar medium is swept up during the journey? What impulse does the interstellar medium deliver to the spacecraft? How does this impulse compare to the momentum of the spacecraft? Work-Energy: Determine the kinetic energy of our spacecraft.
FACT: The product of the force and the time during which it acts is known as impulse. This is a vector quantity denoted with a (J). Therefore, Impulse = J = FΔt and the units are still kg· 𝑚 , which can also be written as a newton-second (N·s). FACT: Impulse is equal to change in linear momentum.
