Describe the relationship between the impulse exerted on an object or a system and the change in momentum of the object or system.

• Change in momentum is the difference between a system’s final momentum and its initial momentum. Relevant equation:
• The impulse–momentum theorem relates the impulse exerted on a system and the system’s change in momentum. Relevant equation:
• Newton’s second law of motion is a direct result of the impulse–momentum theorem applied to systems with constant mass. Relevant equation BOUNDARY STATEMENT AP Physics 1 does not require students to quantitatively analyze systems in which the mass of the system changes with respect to time.
