Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFThe correct answer is Impulse = Force x time duration.
Key Points
- Impulse is defined as the change in momentum of an object when a force is applied over a time interval.
- The formula for impulse is given by the product of the average force and the time duration for which the force is applied: Impulse = Force x time duration.
- The unit of impulse in the International System of Units (SI) is the Newton-second (Ns).
- Impulse can also be understood as the area under the force-time graph.
Important Points
- The concept of impulse is important in understanding collisions and impacts in physics.
- Impulse is a vector quantity, having both magnitude and direction.
- In a closed system where no external forces act, the total impulse is zero, leading to the conservation of momentum.
- Impulse can be calculated for variable forces by integrating the force over the time interval.
