OUTCOME
By the end of the lesson you will review your understanding of impulse and momentum and apply it to build a spreadsheet model of a collision
Momentum is a measure of how mass interacts with a force over time. The applied force in set time defines the impulse and is equal to the change in momentum
Impulse on an object can be found from the area under a force time graph
LEARNING TASKS
Explain
1. How does increasing or decreasing the time of a collision effect the resultant force.
2. Relate this to the momentum-impulse equation.
3. Why do we use graphical analysis rather than the formula to find the impulse when the force varies
