Open in App
Solution

  1. Impulse is used to describe the effect of force acting over time to change the momentum of an object.
  2. It is represented by J.
  3. The newton second (N.s) is the SI unit of impulse.
  4. The application of an impulse to an object, which is frequently in the same direction, results in an equal vector shift in its linear momentum.
  5. The Newton-second (N.s) is the SI impulse unit, and the kilogrammeterpersecond (kg-m/s) is the dimensionally comparable momentum unit.
