What is the difference between impulse and force?

Solution

Force Impulseimpulse
It is applied for a long duration to a body commonly more than one second, then we calculate the time and force easily.
According to Newton's second law of motion, Force is equal to the change in momentum per change in time.
$F = ma$ , $m =$ mass and $a =$ acceleration.
It is applied for a short period of time to a body for example a bat hits a ball.
It is defined as the change in momentum, calculated by multiplying force with time.
$J = F ∆ t,$ where $J$ is impluse, $F$ is force.
