But what if I want to know the force exerted by the object? How would I figure that out?

What do you think??

Multiple Choice

The change in an object’s momentum is equal to

• the product of the mass of the object and the time interval.

• the product of the force applied to the object and the time interval.

• the time interval divided by the net external force.

• the net external force divided by the time interval

Multiple Choice

The impulse-momentum theorem states that

• the impulse on an object is equal to the change in momentum it causes 
• the force on a moving object is equal to the magnitude of the impulse.
• the impulse on an object is greater than the change in momentum it causes 
• the impulse on an object is less than the change in momentum it causes
