Solution

  1. The net force acting on the body is equal to the change of momentum.
    Δp=F×Δt
    where Δp is the change in momentum
    F is the force
    Δt is the change in time.
    It is defined as the product of force with the time interval for which the force acts on the system.
  2. Therefore, the direction of impulse acting on a body is the same as that of change in momentum.
