Impulse and momentum is the study of how forces affect motion over time. Momentum is
the product of an object’s mass and velocity, while Impulse is the force applied over a
period, causing a change in momentum. This concept helps explain collisions, safety
mechanisms, and motion in various real-world applications. The impulse-momentum
theorem states that the change in an object’s momentum is equal to the impulse applied
to it, where impulse is the product of force and the time interval during which it
acts(Siddiquee et al.,2018).
In this experiment, we aim to investigate the relationship between force, time, and
momentum by measuring the effects of impulses on different objects. Through controlled
experiments, we will validate the impulse-momentum theorem and observe how external
forces influence motion.
