Momentum and Impulse

Momentum is p = mv. For an isolated system total momentum is conserved. Impulse J = FΔt equals the change in momentum.

Core checkpoint: Define the system and a positive direction before substituting signed velocities.

Which statement best captures the core checkpoint for Momentum and Impulse?

Define the system and a positive direction before substituting signed velocities.

Choose a solution before defining the evidence.

Ignore units, limits and boundary cases.
