Short explanation

In the subtopic Momentum and force (HT only), this learning objective focuses on (HT only) Describe how increasing impact time reduces the force for the same change in momentum. For AQA GCSE Physics 8463 Unit 4.5 Forces, keep the explanation inside Momentum and force (HT only) and Momentum. Approved keywords for this objective include momentum, force, change in momentum, impact time, and HT only. A strong answer separates momentum and force, uses correct units where quantities are involved, and links the physical reasoning back to (HT only) Describe how increasing impact time reduces the force for the same change in momentum. This is not a generic revision point: it is specifically about Momentum and force (HT only), Momentum, and the approved wording of the learning objective.
