Impulse vs Time Duration
Impulse
Impulse is the product of a force and the time interval over which it acts, equal to the change in momentum.
Formula
J = F * delta_t = delta_p
This is the impulse-momentum theorem.
Example Calculation
A bat exerts an average force of 100 N on a ball for 0.5 seconds.
- 01J = F * t
- 02J = 100 * 0.5
- 03J = 50 N·s
