Learning objectives
Define momentum as mass × velocity, calculate it with p = mv and treat it as a vector quantity (Extended)
Define impulse as force × time for which the force acts and equate it to the change in momentum, FΔt = Δ(mv) (Extended)
Apply the principle of conservation of momentum to collisions and explosions in one dimension (Extended)
Define the resultant force on an object as the rate of change of its momentum and use F = Δp/Δt (Extended)
