Question

What is impulse ?




=========

Answer 1

Impulse is the integral of force, that is, the force multiplied with time. Force (F) in a time interval 't' which acts on it. Since force is a vector quantity, impulse is also a vector quantity. The impulse applied to an object, produces an equivalent vector change in the linear momentum and also the same direction.

Hope it helps :)

Answer 2

● IMPULSE

◆ The change in momentum due to acting force in a time interval is known as impulse.

It is product of force and time.

◆ It is denoted by I, I = F. t

◆ SI unit is N.s , it is a vector quantity.
