  • Failing to differentiate between elastic and inelastic collisions

FAQs

Question: What is the difference between impulse and momentum?
Answer: Impulse is the change in momentum of an object when a force is applied over a period of time, while momentum is the product of an object's mass and its velocity.

Question: How do I calculate impulse?
Answer: Impulse can be calculated using the formula: Impulse = Force × Time, or it can also be determined by the change in momentum.
