Physics
You will get to look at the concept of impulse through the example of a swinging golf club. Study momentum by tossing a basketball while on different surfaces. Then use a frictionless table to provide evidence for the law of conservation of momentum.

What is the definition of impulse?
~ Impulse is the product of the force multiplied by the time interval over which the force acts. Impulse is always equal to mass times the change in velocity, which is the same as an object's change in momentum.
