NEET Physics Impulse & Momentum MCQ Question
Which of the following statements about impulse and momentum are correct?
Impulse is equal to the change in momentum of an object.
The force exerted during an impulse acts for a long duration.
In an isolated system, momentum is conserved regardless of the forces acting between objects.
Impulse can be calculated as the product of force and the distance over which it acts.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
Impulse is defined as the product of force and time duration, which is equal to the change in momentum of the body (Chunk 2). In an isolated system, the total momentum is conserved, as stated in the context (Chunk 1). However, the force in an impulse acts for a short duration, not a long one, and impulse cannot be calculated using distance (Chunk 2).
