The Impulse of a force

The Impulse of a force. What is Impulse ?. When a force acts on an object, it can change the motion of the object. The change will depend on the size of the force and how long a time the force acts for.

  1. The Impulse of a force

  2. What is Impulse ? When a force acts on an object, it can change the motion of the object. The change will depend on the size of the force and how long a time the force acts for. The impulse is the size of the force ( F ) multiplied by the time ( t ) for which it acts. Impulse = Ft

  3. More about Impulse Impulse has no special symbol. Impulse has no special units. We use newton seconds ( Ns )

  4. Impulse and Momentum Impulse is important because it is linked to momentum. Ft = mv-mu Impulse = change in momentum

  5. An example A footballer taking a penalty kick strikes the ball for a time of 0.3 seconds using an average force of 120 newtons. If the mass of the ball is 430g, find the speed of the ball immediately after it is kicked.
