Question

what is the term for a change in the momentum of an object that is caused by the application of a force during a given period of time? acceleration velocity impulse

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity, not related to momentum change over time due to force.
• Velocity is the speed with direction, not related to momentum change from force over time.
• Impulse is defined as the product of force and the time interval during which it acts, and it equals the change in momentum of an object. So impulse matches the description.

Answer:

C. impulse
