The Relationship Between Force and Momentum Change: Two Examples Explained

The video tutorial explains the relationship between force, mass, acceleration, and momentum. It introduces the equation F = m * a and discusses how acceleration is the rate of change of velocity. The tutorial provides two examples: a stunt person falling onto a crash mat and a car crashing into a wall. Both examples illustrate how the force experienced by an object is related to the rate of change of its momentum. The video emphasizes that increasing the time over which momentum changes can reduce the force experienced by an object.
