Which of the following describes impulse?

Question

mass multiplied by acceleration

mass multiplied by velocity

time multiplied by velocity

quantity of force multiplied by the time it is applied

Answer 1

Impulse is described as the quantity of force multiplied by the time it is applied. Mathematically, impulse (J) can be expressed as:

\[ J = F \cdot t \]

where \( F \) is the force applied and \( t \) is the time duration for which the force is applied. Impulse also corresponds to the change in momentum of an object.
