In summary, the concept of impulse can be used to solve problems involving force, torque, and momentum. It is defined as force (or torque) times time, and can be helpful in understanding the relationship between force and momentum. A quick search in the Homework help forums can provide plenty of examples and explanations on how to use impulse to solve various types of problems.

why so impulsive?
Hi iitjee10!
Impulse of force (or torque) is force (or torque) times time.
(as opposed to work done , which is force times distance)
Impulse = change in momentum
(as opposed to force = rate of change in momentum)
Did you have a specific type of problem in mind?

1. How does impulse help in solving problems?
Impulse is a change in momentum that is necessary to overcome resistance and create change. By using impulse, we can analyze a problem and determine the necessary force or action needed to overcome it.
2. What is the process of using impulse to solve a problem?
The first step is to identify the problem and determine the desired outcome. Then, we must calculate the momentum of the problem and determine the force needed to create a change. Finally, we must apply the necessary force or action to achieve the desired outcome.
3. Can impulse be used in all types of problems?
Yes, impulse can be used in a variety of problems, including physics, engineering, and even personal or social issues. It is a universal concept that can be applied to any problem that requires change or overcoming resistance.
4. How do you calculate impulse?
Impulse can be calculated by multiplying the force applied by the time it is applied for. The equation for impulse is J = F x Δt, where J is impulse, F is force, and Δt is the time interval.
5. Can impulse be used in a team or collaborative setting?
Yes, impulse can be used in a team or collaborative setting as it can help identify the necessary actions or changes needed to achieve a common goal. By understanding and using impulse, teams can work together to solve problems more effectively and efficiently.
