Integral of a force over the time interval for which it acts; term in classical mechanics
In classical mechanics, impulse (symbolized by J or Imp) is the change in momentum of an object. If the initial momentum of an object is p 1, and a subsequent momentum is p 2, the object has received an impulse J: Momentum is a vector quantity, so impulse is also a vector quantity. Newton’s second law of motion states that the rate of change of momentum of an object is equal to the resultant force... Wikipedia
