Question

The impulse-momentum theorem states that the impulse acting on an object is equal to:
Options
A The force acting on it.
B The product of mass and velocity.
C The change in momentum of the object.
Correct Answer
D The work done on the object.
Correct Answer

Option C is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

The impulse-momentum theorem, as stated, is I = Δp = F_net Δt. This means the impulse delivered to an object is equal to the change in its momentum.

Hint

Impulse is not momentum itself, but what causes it to change.
