Question

The direction of impulse is
(a) same as that of the net force
(b) opposite to that of the net force
(c) same as that of the final velocity
(d) same as that of the initial velocity

Answer 1

Answer:

impulse is a vector quantity that has a same direction as the force

Answer 2

The direction of impulse is the same as the net force. (option a)

• Impulse quantifies the effect of a force acting over a period of time.
• The formula is Impulse = F × t, where "F" is the force, "t" is the time. Its S.I. unit is N secs.
• It is also called a change in momentum and momentum is a vector quantity, the change in momentum is also a vector quantity which implies that impulse is the same as the net force.
