Solution
Impulse:
Impulse is basically a force that acts for a very short duration. It is normally represented as the product of the force applied (F) and the time (t, which is very small).
For example - when a batsman hits the cricket ball the force applied by him acts for a very short duration on the ball.
Impulse= force×time
Momentum:
Momentum is an indicator of the amount of motion a body possesses. It is represented as the product of the object mass (m) and its velocity (v).
- momentum = mass×velocity
