Impulse (J)
Defined as the integral of force over time. It equals the change in momentum ($\Delta p$).
J = F · Δt

J = F · Δt
Momentum & Impulse
In physics, Momentum (p) is "mass in motion". Impulse (J) is the force applied over time that changes an object's momentum.
Common Impacts
Baseball Bat Hit~13.5 kg·m/s
Car Crash (30mph)~20,000 kg·m/s
Walking Step~5 kg·m/s

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.
