| Below is a force vs time graph where the "area under the curve" has been highlighted. In this example, we are only looking at the component of the net force in the $x$-direction. Such graphs can be produced for each component of the net force, but let's say that for this system, there was a non-zero component of the net force only in the $x$-direction. | Below is a force vs time graph where the "area under the curve" has been highlighted.

| For the above figure, the momentum change over the complete time interval can be determined in a straightforward way due to the simple geometric shapes produced. Area above the zero line are positive momentum changes, and area below are negative. By adding up the "area under the curve" in this way, we obtain a momentum change of 7 ${N\; | For the above figure, the momentum change over the complete time interval can be determined in a straightforward way due to the simple geometric shapes produced.
