Impulse is defined as the product of the average force applied to an object and the time duration over which the force is applied. Therefore, in the context of a bat hitting a ball, the correct response is:
**the force multiplied by the time the objects are in contact.**
Impulse is also equal to the change in momentum of the object, which can be derived from the impulse-momentum theorem.
**the force multiplied by the time the objects are in contact.**
Impulse is also equal to the change in momentum of the object, which can be derived from the impulse-momentum theorem.
