🔬 Everyday Science

The impulse experienced by an object equals:

A Force times distance
B Force times time (change in momentum)
C Mass times velocity
D Mass times distance

✓ Correct Answer: Option B

Impulse J = FΔt = Δp (change in momentum). It equals the area under a force-time graph.

💡 Why is B) the correct answer?

The correct answer to the question "The impulse experienced by an object equals:" is Option B: Force times time (change in momentum).

The other options — A) Force times distance, C) Mass times velocity, D) Mass times distance — are incorrect for this Everyday Science question. As explained above: Impulse J = FΔt = Δp (change in momentum). It equals the area under a force-time graph.
