NEET Physics Impulse & Momentum MCQ Question
Which of the following statements regarding impulse and momentum is correct?
Impulse is equal to the change in momentum of an object.
Impulse acts only in the direction of the object's initial velocity.
The total momentum of a system is not conserved if external forces act.
Momentum and impulse always have the same magnitude but opposite direction.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
Impulse is defined as the change in momentum of an object, which aligns with the concepts discussed in the NCERT context regarding conservation of momentum and the relationship between force, time, and momentum change.
