Does exerting a force on an object in motion change its momentum?
Yes
What is the impulse of a baseball that is caught?
Impulse is change of momentum, which is force x time over which the force acts. Original momentum = mv, final momentum =0, so impulse is in this case mv.
When a bug hits a windshield which is larger the force of the bug hitting the windshield or the force of the windshield hitting the bug Which is larger the change in momentum of the bug or the change?
The change
What is the relationship between momentum and inertia?
I guess that momentum is part of the inertia, inertia is composed of momentum as the pages are related to the book. Inertia will be different if it has different kind of momentum. Force will affect momentum so inertia will change.
In order to impart the greatest momentum to an object you should?
In order to impart the greatest momentum to an object, you should both exert the largest force possible upon the object in question and extend that force for as long as possible. This is so because the greater the force acting on an object results in a greater change in velocity, which in turn yields a greater momentum. In addition to exerting the largest force possible on an object, you should also extend that force over the longest period of time as possible, as the sustained force also produces more momentum. As p= m•v, the best method in obtaining the greatest amount for 'p' would be to manipulate either the 'm' or 'v' variables. Force= acceleration= change in velocity= MOMENTUM. Greater amount of time= MOMENTUM
Will the momentum of a system change when a net force acts on a system?
Yes.
If a net force acts on a system the system's momentum will change True Or False?
True.
What law states that if no net force acts on an system then the total momentum of the system does not change?

What happens to momentum when an impulse acts on a system?
Strictly speaking, you would say that a force acts on a system and the impulse of that force corresponds to the change in momentum of the system due to the action of the force. More mathematically, the impulse of a force is defined as the integral of that force with respect to time over the time period that the force acts.
How can you relate a force with the change of a momentum of a body?
Change of the body's momentum = (force on the body) x (length of time the force acts on it)
How can you related of force with the change of momentum of a body?
Change of the body's momentum = (force on the body) x (length of time the force acts on it)

What type of forces change the total momentum of a system?
That is only possible by an outside force - a force from outside the system. The type of force is not important, but it must come from the outside.
What does conversation of momentum mean?
Conservation of momentum means that momentum is a constant and the change of momentum or force is zero.
What is the formula for instantaneous impulse?
The definition of impulse is change in momentum, how is there CHANGE in an instant? Or you are asking the instantaneous MOMENTUM, then it's the mass of the object times its speed. Or you are asking the CHANGE in momentum, impulse, after a specific time. If the average force applied to the mass is given, it's force times change in time. If a change in Force is observed, you have to integrate. If there is NO force applied, then the change in momentum is none.
Why is the change of momentum zero in an isolated system?
Because when force is being used too demonstrated too fit the momentum thats why we call the negligence of report
