False.
Impulse is defined as the change in momentum, and it is calculated as the product of force and the time duration over which that force is applied (Impulse = Force × Time). If the contact time is less, a greater force would need to be applied to achieve the same impulse, not necessarily a greater impulse overall. If the force remains constant but the contact time is shorter, the impulse will actually be less. Therefore, the statement is false.
