The
Impulse Of A Force
The impulse
of a force is the product of the force and time. From the equation of force,
F
= m(v-u)/t
Ft
= mv - mu
Ft is
the Impulse of the force, and as shown above, it is equal to change in momentum (mv
- mu).
The
symbol of the Impulse of a force is I.
Therefore, I
= Ft = Change in momentum

law of motion here.
