The term Impulse is used to refer to fast-acting force or “impact”, Thus impulse can be defined as “The sudden force acting on an object for a short interval of time”. Conventionally represented by J. Sometimes by imp and expressed in N.s
The impulse when plotted against time, the graph of unit impulse is Gaussian in nature.
