Change in momentum (called Impulse) is Force x time, so I =Ft

Force=Rate of change of momentum=change in momentum/time taken. Usually used for forces in a collision.

The momentum of a body changes when a force acts upon it. The stronger the force, and the longer it acts, the greater the change in momentum will be.

Therefore, p2 - p1 = F * t
