What is the formula for impulse?

Fnet×ΔtF_{\text{net}} \times \Delta t

Which units are correct for impulse?

N⋅s\text{N} \cdot \text{s} or kg⋅m⋅s−1\text{kg} \cdot \text{m} \cdot \text{s}^{-1}

According to the impulse-momentum theorem, impulse equals what?

Change in momentum (Δp\Delta p)

For the same momentum change, if force is large, the time interval must be what?

Small

Why do car airbags inflate during collisions?

To increase collision time and reduce force

On a force-time graph, what does the area under the curve represent?

Impulse delivered to the object
