Almost. Impulse is F*t, not F/t.Merlinnair said:Impulse is F/t and change in momentum right?
Set impulse = Δp. (FYI: Change in something is always final - initial.)So then, all I'd have to do is set F/t = p_i - p_f?
The equation for calculating the velocity of a ball after being kicked is v = u + at, where v is the final velocity, u is the initial velocity, a is the acceleration, and t is the time.
The force of the kick affects the trajectory of the ball by determining the initial velocity of the ball. The greater the force of the kick, the higher the initial velocity and the farther the ball will travel.
Yes, the angle of the kick can also impact the ball's trajectory. The angle at which the ball is kicked can change the direction of its initial velocity, resulting in a different trajectory.
If the ball collides with another object, its velocity will change. The change in velocity will depend on the mass of the object it collides with, the angle of the collision, and the coefficient of restitution (a measure of how much energy is lost during the collision).
The mass of the ball affects its collision with another object by determining the amount of force that is exerted on the object during the collision. A heavier ball will exert more force on the object compared to a lighter ball, resulting in a different outcome of the collision.
