In classical mechanics, impulse (symbolized by J or Imp) is the integral of a force, F, over the time interval, t, for which information technology acts. Since force is a vector quantity, impulse is also a vector quantity. Impulse applied to an object produces an equivalent vector change in its linear momentum, also in the resultant management. The SI unit of impulse is the newton 2nd (Due north⋅south), and the dimensionally equivalent unit of momentum is the kilogram meter per second (kg⋅g/s). The respective English applied science unit of measurement is the pound-second (lbf⋅s), and in the British Gravitational Organisation, the unit is the slug-foot per 2d (slug⋅ft/s).

A resultant force causes acceleration and a modify in the velocity of the body for as long as information technology acts. A resultant force applied over a longer time, therefore, produces a bigger change in linear momentum than the same force applied briefly: the change in momentum is equal to the product of the boilerplate strength and duration. Conversely, a small forcefulness practical for a long time produces the same change in momentum—the same impulse—as a larger force applied briefly.

${\displaystyle J=F_{\text{average}}(t_{2}-t_{1})}$

The impulse is the integral of the resultant force (F) with respect to time:

${\displaystyle J=\int F\,\mathrm {d} t}$

Mathematical derivation in the example of an object of constant mass [edit]

The impulse delivered past the "sorry" ball is mv₀, where v₀ is the speed upon bear on. To the extent that it bounces dorsum with speed 5₀, the "happy" ball delivers an impulse of mΔv=2mv₀.^[1]

Impulse J produced from time t ₁ to t ₂ is defined to be^[2]

${\displaystyle \mathbf {J} =\int _{t_{1}}^{t_{ii}}\mathbf {F} \,\mathrm {d} t}$

where F is the resultant strength applied from t _one to t ₂ .

From Newton's 2d police force, force is related to momentum p by

${\displaystyle \mathbf {F} ={\frac {\mathrm {d} \mathbf {p} }{\mathrm {d} t}}}$

Therefore,

${\displaystyle {\begin{aligned}\mathbf {J} &=\int _{t_{1}}^{t_{2}}{\frac {\mathrm {d} \mathbf {p} }{\mathrm {d} t}}\,\mathrm {d} t\\&=\int _{\mathbf {p} _{i}}^{\mathbf {p} _{ii}}\mathrm {d} \mathbf {p} \\&=\mathbf {p} _{2}-\mathbf {p} _{1}=\Delta \mathbf {p} \stop{aligned}}}$

where Δp is the alter in linear momentum from time t _i to t ₂ . This is often called the impulse-momentum theorem^[3] (analogous to the piece of work-energy theorem).

As a result, an impulse may also be regarded as the change in momentum of an object to which a resultant force is practical. The impulse may be expressed in a simpler form when the mass is constant:

${\displaystyle \mathbf {J} =\int _{t_{1}}^{t_{2}}\mathbf {F} \,\mathrm {d} t=\Delta \mathbf {p} =m\mathbf {v_{ii}} -one thousand\mathbf {v_{1}} }$

A large force practical for a very short duration, such as a golf shot, is oftentimes described as the club giving the ball an impulse.

where

• F is the resultant force applied,
• t ₁ and t ₂ are times when the impulse begins and ends, respectively,
• chiliad is the mass of the object,
• v ₂ is the last velocity of the object at the end of the time interval, and
• v ₁ is the initial velocity of the object when the time interval begins.

Impulse has the same units and dimensions (M L T⁻¹) every bit momentum. In the International Arrangement of Units, these are kg⋅m/southward = N⋅southward. In English language engineering units, they are slug⋅ft/s = lbf⋅s.

The term "impulse" is also used to refer to a fast-acting force or bear upon. This type of impulse is often arcadian and so that the change in momentum produced by the strength happens with no change in time. This sort of change is a step modify, and is not physically possible. Nevertheless, this is a useful model for computing the furnishings of platonic collisions (such every bit in game physics engines). Additionally, in rocketry, the term "full impulse" is commonly used and is considered synonymous with the term "impulse".

Variable mass [edit]

The application of Newton'south second law for variable mass allows impulse and momentum to be used as analysis tools for jet- or rocket-propelled vehicles. In the example of rockets, the impulse imparted can exist normalized by unit of measurement of propellant expended, to create a performance parameter, specific impulse. This fact can exist used to derive the Tsiolkovsky rocket equation, which relates the vehicle'due south propulsive change in velocity to the engine's specific impulse (or nozzle frazzle velocity) and the vehicle'southward propellant-mass ratio.
