Impulse is defined as the change in momentum of an object and is mathematically represented as the product of force and the time duration over which the force acts. The impulse can be expressed with the equation:
\[ \text{Impulse} = F \cdot t \]
where:
- \( F \) is the average force applied,
- \( t \) is the time duration during which the force is applied.
From this relationship, we can see that impulse is directly proportional to the force and the contact time. If you have less contact time (i.e., a smaller \( t \)), for the impulse to remain constant, the force \( F \) must increase. Thus, with less contact time, a greater force is typically needed to achieve the same impulse.
In summary, if contact time is decreased, greater force is required to maintain the same level of impulse. So, less contact time does not create a greater impulse on its own; it necessitates a greater force to achieve the same impulse that would result from a longer contact time with a lesser force.
