Which of the following are equal to the impulse, J? Select TWO answers.

• Ft

• at

• p

Answer explanation

Impulse, J, can be calculated in either of two ways:

Impulse is equal to the change in an object’s momentum.

Impulse is equal to the force experienced multiplied by the time interval of collision, J = Ft
