Impulse and Momentum
1. Derive the Impulse formula using calculus.
Dp = pf – pi = ò F dt
2. Use the Derivation to solve problems that relate to momentum , force and impulse
3. Create an Impulse- momentum AP Physics Problem.

The impulse of the force F acting on a particle equals the change in the
momentum of the particle.

a. If f(t) =6t5 , then J= t6
b.If p’(t) =t999, then P(t)= t1000 /1000c. If, then y = t4

Example
• Let p’(t) = 2t3+ t = F(t)• Then the Integral is ½ (t4 + t2)
Yep it’s that simple……
Now you make up a function
• F(t) = • Take the Integral• J = Impulse
