F = (mΔv)/t, where F is force, m is mass, Δv is change in velocity, and t is time. This means the force acting on an object is equal to the rate of change of momentum of the object
How do vehicle safety features work in terms of momentum?
Vehicle safety features like air bags, seat belts, and crumple zones increase the time taken for the change in momentum, which reduces the rate of change of momentum and thus reduces the force experienced
What is the relationship between time, force, and change in momentum?
The greater the time taken for the change in momentum of an object, the smaller the rate of change of momentum, and the smaller the force it experiences
