Momentum & Impulse

Momentum

Momentum is defined as the velocity of an
object times its mass.

p = m*v

During a soccer game, every time the ball
is kicked, the player transfers the momentum
from the leg to the ball. Also, When a player
receive the soccer ball, he uses the foot to
reduce the momentum of the ball by isolating
the feet to slow down the ball and get more
ball control.

Impulse

Impulse is define as the change in

        momentum.

        In soccer, occasionally there are situations
        that causes the player to change the
        momentum of the ball, to pass the ball, or
        even strike the ball to the net. Impulse, helps
        the soccer player to make a fast decision to
        continue the play without losing possession
        or scoring a goal.

                                                                                                                                                  link

    Example:

        Momentum and impulse are hard to understand,
        but this example by Ethan Clement Barnettwill
        give you an idea of momentum and impulse
        in soccer.
