How does impulse relate to momentum?

In: Newtons Laws of Motion [Edit categories]

Answer:

They have the same dimensions and are measured in the same units. (MLT^-1) In a collision, the change in magnitude of momentum is equal to the impulse.

How does inertia relate to momentum?
Inertia is an object's unwillingness to change its trajectory, due to the object's momentum. Consider a car going 60 miles or kilometers per hour, straight down open road. All of a sudden the driver...
What is the difference between momentum and impulse?
There is no.
What is the formula of impulse and momentum?
Impulse = I momentum = P Force = F Mass = m Time= t Velocity = v Delta = the change of I=F(DELTA)t P=mv
The statement 'Impulse is not the same as momentum' is?
True.
How do momentum differ to that impulse?
This is not possible to answer as stated. The grammar is mixed and incoherent.
