AI Thread Summary
Impulse is defined as the product of force (or torque) and time, leading to a change in momentum. It differs from work done, which involves force and distance. The discussion encourages users to explore specific problems involving impulse, suggesting that searching the Homework help forums can provide relevant examples. Several threads are referenced for further exploration of impulse applications. Understanding impulse can enhance problem-solving skills in physics contexts.

why so impulsive?

Hi iitjee10! :smile:

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? :smile:
 


can anyone show me its use in a problem?
 

Thread 'Is calling fictitious forces not real just about terminology?'

Hi there, im studying nanoscience at the university in Basel. Today I looked at the topic of intertial and non-inertial reference frames and the existence of fictitious forces. I understand that you call forces real in physics if they appear in interplay. Meaning that a force is real when there is the "actio" partner to the "reactio" partner. If this condition is not satisfied the force is not real. I also understand that if you specifically look at non-inertial reference frames you can...

Thread 'Derivation of Hamilton's Principle: Questions'

I have recently been really interested in the derivation of Hamiltons Principle. On my research I found that with the term ##m \cdot \frac{d}{dt} (\frac{dr}{dt} \cdot \delta r) = 0## (1) one may derivate ##\delta \int (T - V) dt = 0## (2). The derivation itself I understood quiet good, but what I don't understand is where the equation (1) came from, because in my research it was just given and not derived from anywhere. Does anybody know where (1) comes from or why from it the...
