Question

4. What is meant by the term 'impulse' of a force?​

Answer 1

In classical mechanics, impulse (symbolized by J or Imp) is the integral of a force, F, over the time interval, t, for which it acts. Since force is a vector quantity, impulse is also a vector quantity. ... A resultant force causes acceleration and a change in the velocity of the body for as long as it acts.
