In a Nut Shell: The principle of linear impulse and momentum for
a particle is that the linear
impulse
acting on the particle equals its change in linear momentum during the time
of the
impulse,
say from t1 to t2.
t2
∫ Σ F dt = m v2 -
m v1
t1

Principle of Linear
Impulse and Momentum for a Particle |
NOTE: The principle of linear impulse and
momentum is a vector equation.
i.e. It has x and y
components.
