Understanding Impulse: The Physics of Force and Time

Miacademy & MiaPrep Learning Channel

This educational video provides a comprehensive introduction to the physics concept of impulse, defining it as the change in momentum of an object during a collision. The instructor begins with a relatable analogy about golf and the importance of "following through," using this to explain how maximizing the time of contact increases the momentum transferred to the ball. The video then transitions into a formal physics lesson, breaking down the variables that affect impulse: force and time.
