Title: Impulse question
Post by: Apink on October 31, 2013, 07:44:17 pm

If object A collides with object B, is the impulse between each object always the same? Given that impulse is equal to the change in momentum and momentum is always conserved. ie. the impulse of object A on object B is the same as the impulse of object B on object A.

Correct. Same magnitude, opposite in direction.
