Impulse
Q1: What is Impulse?
Answer:
Impulse is defined as the product of the force applied and the time interval for which the force acts on the body. It is calculated using the formula, J = F × Δt.
Q2: What is the Unit of Impulse?
Answer:
As we know that impulse is calculated using the formula J = F × Δt. Its SI unit is Newton-Second.
Q3: How Impulse is related to Momentum?
Answer:
The change in linear momentum of the body is equal to the Impulse of the body,
J = ΔP
Q4: What is Impulse Dimensional Formula?
Answer:
The dimensional formula for the impulse is [MLT-1]
Q5: Give an Example of Impulse.
Answer:
A batsman hitting a ball or a golfer hitting a ball is an example of impulse.
What is Impulse?
Impulse in Physics is defined as the force acting on the body for a very shorter period of time. It is the instant change in the momentum of the body. For example, in case of collision, the instant change in the momentum of the body just before and after the collision is called the Impulse acting on the body.
The damage sustained by the body is dependent on the impulse applied to the body. It is denoted using the letter ‘J’ and is calculated by taking the product of the force applied and the time for which the force is applied.
In this article, we will discuss the concept of Impulse, its formula, equations, and others in detail in this article.
