· 1.23 use the relationship between force, change in momentum and time taken:
force = change in momentum
time taken
F = Δp / t
From N2L F = m x a
but a = v - u / t
so F = m (v - u) / t
F = mv - mu / t
but p = mv
so F = pf - pi / t
F = Δp / t
can be written as Δp = F x t = Impulse
We can express the green equation in words as...
"Force is the rate of change of momentum"

Example 1
Why would you prefer to fall onto a bed than onto concrete? (3 marks)
Answer
· Concrete or soft bed, your change in momentum is equal
· With a soft bed, this change in momentum takes place over a longer time
· This means that the force needed to change your momentum is less
or use the equation
· Impulse = Δp = F x t where Δp = constant
· soft bed => increases t
· and therefore decreases F

Answer
F = Δp / t
10,000 = Δp / 60
Δp = 600,000kgm/s
Δp = mv - mu
Δp = m(v - u)
600,000 = 1,200(v - 2000)
v - 2000 = 500
v = 2500m/s
