Linear momentum is the product of an object's mass and its velocity, expressed in units of kilograms times metres per second (kg*m/s): $\overrightarrow p = m \overrightarrow v$

Impulse-Momentum Theorem

<aside> 📌 When a net force acts on an object, the impulse of this force is equal to the change in momentum of the object is $\Sigma \overrightarrow F \triangle t = mv_f -mv_i$

• Impulse is the change in momentum caused by the application of a force over a time interval, expressed in units of newton seconds
  • $\triangle P = F \triangle t$
  • The magnitude of an impulse can be found by measuring the area under a force-time curve
