Question

To use the principle of linear impulse and momentum to relate a force on an object to the resulting velocity of the object at different times.

The equation of motion for a particle of mass m

can be written as

F=ma=mdvdt

By rearranging the terms and integrating, this equation becomes the principle of linear impulse and momentum:

∑∫t2t1Fdt=mv2v1dv=mv2−mv1

For problem-solving purposes, this principle is often rewritten as

mv1+∑∫t2t1Fdt=mv2

The integral ∫Fdt is called the linear impulse, I, and the vector mv is called the particle's linear momentum.
