What are some common mistakes students make with impulse?
Students are often doubtful about impulse of force and impulsive force.
Whereas an impulsive force is a kind of force that acts on a body in a very short amount of time, the impulse of force refers to the force and how long it works.

Some common mistakes students make with impulse include:
- Confusing impulse with momentum.
- Failing to consider the direction of the impulse vector.
- Forgetting to account for the change in momentum when calculating impulse.
- Using incorrect units or not converting units properly when working with impulse.
- Neglecting to account for external forces acting on the object during the impulse.

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.

- How much momentum does a #6 kg# object moving at #1/4 m/s# have?
- An astronaut with a mass of #70 kg# is floating in space. If the astronaut throws an object with a mass of #26 kg# at a speed of #1/6 m/s#, how much will his speed change by?
- How do you calculate the coefficient of restitution?
- When a moving object collides with a stationary object of identical mass, the stationary object encounters the greater collision force. Is that true or false? Why?
- Which has more momentum, an object with a mass of #3kg# moving at #4m/s# or an object with a mass of #2kg# moving at #6m/s#?
