Impulse

Impulse - Perform scientific calculations with precision and accuracy.

What is Impulse?

Impulse measures the effect of a force over a time interval: J = F Δt. It equals the change in momentum.

Formula

J = F Δt = Δp

Example

A constant 8 N force acts for 0.5 s. J = 8 × 0.5 = 4 N·s.

FAQs

Variable force?
Integrate F(t) over time to obtain impulse.

Units?
N·s or kg·m/s.
